In the vast land of complex systems, I commute back and forth
between computational biology and bio-inspired
computing. On the way, I founded the field of (ME),
which explores new methodologies to model and create complex
architectures that self-organize from a swarm of heterogeneous
agents, in particular by .
Such emergent structures can be , , or large of computing devices.
ME could also explain brain representations based on dynamic
in phase space, formed by myriads of correlated spikes. Additionally,
I am interested in the mechanisms leading to
diversity, and how they can help us understand and automate
the design of ME systems.
