La version compréhensible par ma maman est ici

I'm doing a PhD at ÉNS Lyon under the direction of my beloved advisor,Éric Rémila. I study self-assembling tilings , and more specifically the geometry and complexity aspects of this peculiar computation model. You will soon be able to find more about my work in my CV

A page that tracks my publications much better than I do..

Publications

  • 2006 : Self-assemblying Classes of Shapes with a Minimum Number of Tiles, and in Optimal Time, with Ivan Rapaport and Éric Rémila at FSTTCS. Cite it!
  • 2008 : Transformation and preservation of self-assembling dynamics through homotheties, at LATA2008. To be published soon
  • 2008 : Average Binary Long-Lived Consensus: Quantifying the Stabilizing Role Played by Memory, with Sergio Rajsbaum, Ivan Rapaport et Éric Rémila, at SIROCCO 2008. To be published soon
  • Optimal Time Self-assembly for Squares and Cubes, with Éric Rémila and Nicolas Schabanel, at DNA14.
  • Talks

    The slides for some of my talks:
  • At the Tilings and self-assembly workshpo at DLT 2007, Self-assembling Tilings of the Whole Plane
  • Preprints

    Some unpublished works, they are still in continuous change!
  • Homotheties for self-assembly, an intrinsic construction, or zooming tiles. Add a magic powder to your self-assembling soup, and it will produce larger bistroodles!
  • A geometrical programming language for self-assembly, and some applications., where one gets tired of describing tilesets in details, and decides to do some painting instead. Accepted in TCS.
  • Infallible self-assembly An exploration of the power of self-assembly system when one uses them as tiling algorithm for Wang Tilings. There is still lots to do on that topic!
