I'm an INRIA postdoctorate researcher at the Lorraine Laboratory of IT Research and its Applications (LORIA) in the CORTEX project.

Working on computational neuroscience models of sensorimotor behaviors and on the continuous neural field theory. More broadly, I'm interested on coordination and prediction based distributed models of cognition.

I've given mathematics and computer science courses at the ENSEEIHT engineering school in 2005-2009 during my PhD.

I just moved in Villers-lès-Nancy, in the suburbs of Nancy, in the north-east of France, to start my postdoctorate at the LORIA laboratory. From tomorrow, I will be working on computational neuroscience problems, and more specially on the predictive and temporal aspects of distributed models applied to sensorimotor behaviors.

From today, I'm no more affiliated with the IRIT in Toulouse and should be looking for a job. I say "should", because my application for a postdoc at the INRIA was accepted and I should be working from November 2009 until February 2011 in Nancy, within the CORTEX team, under the direction of Bernard Girau. September and October will nevertheless be busy, since I have many research projects to "finish" before going on something different.

Due to several changes in my personal life, some gastric based illness and many other factors, I had to rest at several occasions in July and August. Sadly this was probably not the most efficient way to publish, but was the perfect opportunity to think about what I really want to do with my life (whether professional or personal)...
