Background
  • Professor in Computer Science at Sorbonne Université, Paris, France
  • Studies collective adaptive systems: how groups of simple agents—robotic or biological—can learn, evolve, and self-organize in open environments
  • Interested in both natural systems (using simulations to understand social learning dynamics) and artificial systems (designing distributed online reinforcement and evolutionary learning algorithms for swarm robotics)
  • Primarily builds individual-based models and conducts numerical simulations; also uses custom experimental platforms such as the Pogobot swarm (200 open-source robots developed at ISIR)
  • Research topics: collective adaptive systems, swarm robotics, social learning, smart active matter
  • Methods: machine learning, evolutionary computation, evolutionary dynamics, statistical physics
