I am affiliated with the Faculty of Law and Economics of Martinique of the (French spelled) "Université des Antilles et de la Guyane", which spans the territories of Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guyana throughout the Caribbean and south America.

I do my research in a nice lab with cool atmosphere, the CEREGMIA. Visit us if you wish to check for yourself !

 (Way too brief) Bio

I was appointed as Full professor in 2004. Before that, I obtained my accreditation to lead research (HDR) in 2002 and a PhD in Computer Science in 1998. I was previously associate professor (2002-04), and assistant professor (1998-02). Before that, I did a scientific conscription here with a joint contract in 1996-97. In another life, I got my "Ingénieur Agro" degree (MSc in Agronomical Engineering Sciences, majoring in industrial microbiology and biostatistics...) and a MSc in Computer Science (both in 1993, both magna cum laude). Before that, I did my "Classes Préparatoires" (Competitive entrance to French Engineering Schools) in 1988-90. Long before, I was born in the early 70's, at the same age my little angel was born.
