Following an engineering degree in modeling biological systems, a master degree in modeling complex systems and a PhD in statistics, my research focuses on modeling human and biological systems: culture, languages, societies, demography, genetics.

After 8 years in Academia I joined Vidium Solution in 2020 as a system biologist to model cell fate from OMICS data, before progressing to CTO and COO.
