Work experience

  1. March 2008 PhD Student in the bio-Informatics lab in Paris with Professor Alessandra Carbone We propose a method to detect co-evolved blocks of residues, numerically rank them depending on their level of co-evolution, and clusterize them to obtain networks of co-evolved blocks (successive positions). A randomized version of the algorithm allows to compute sets of coevolved residues in high dimension.
  2. Nov 06 Dec 08 Team manager for a year in the consulting firm Capgemini for Telecoms and Media clients. ­- Supervision of software engineering cycle ­- Meetings with clients for the elaboration of their functional needs ­- Management of a team of 10 people: Resource lmanagement, Planning elaboration, Reporting
  3. Developer, ‘Concepteur Réalisateur Intégrateur’ for 4 months consulting firm Capgemini ­ Study of new evolutions for current projects ­ Establishing the equivalence between technical possibilities and functional needs ­ Developments using Java–J2EE et pl/sql. ­ Integration database and web applications
  4. April 2006 Internship in the bio-Informatics lab in Paris with Professor Alessandra Carbone Research of motifs at large scale by comparaison of sequences of Plasmodium falciparum. The aim of this study is to create a probabilistic tool inspired for already existing ones, that takes into account the A+T varaition ofthe genomes and that searches for structured motifs in intergenique regions in Plasmodium: 3'UTR et 5'UTR.
