ABOUT ME

I am an evolutionary systems biologist, who uses computers and mathematics to explore the evolution of complex biological systems. I am studying how adaptation shapes genotypes, phenotypes and populations in variable environments, with its share of surprising and counter-intuitive effects.

I am using a broad range of approaches, from mathematical modeling to numerical simulations, bioinformatics and machine learning. Depending on their complexity, I usually consider simulation models as experimental systems (Peck, 2004) — I conduct in silico evolution experiments in a computer as one would do in the real world (Hindré et al., 2012).

Since January 2023, I am a research associate at the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf (Mathematics and Natural Sciences faculty), in Prof. Martin Lercher's Computational Cell Biology group. Before that, I have been a research associate at the University of Helsinki, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and at INRIA. I defended my PhD in November, 2017 at INSA de Lyon, within the project-team INRIA-Beagle.
