Curriculum vitae

I was born on July 7th 1968 in Delft (the Netherlands). I completed secondary school (VWO) at the Twents Carmellyceum in Oldenzaal, after which I went to study at the University of Twente in Enschede. Between 1986 and 1994 I obtained M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science (cum laude), Management Science (cum laude), and Philosophy of Science, Technology, and Society (cum laude).

In 1993 I started my Ph.D. thesis in the Knowledge-Based Systems group, headed by professor Nicolaas Mars, at the faculty of Computer Science of the University of Twente. My thesis research focused on the development and use of qualitative reasoning techniques for the model-based analysis of measurements in science and engineering. In addition, I maintained a strong interest in the potential role of computers in making scientific discoveries. In 1998 I obtained my Ph.D. degree (cum laude).

In the same year, I joined the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) in France as a research scientist (chargé de recherche). I started to work in the SHERPA research group at the Grenoble – Rhône-Alpes research unit of INRIA in Grenoble. From 2000 to 2007, I was a member of the HELIX group in bioinformatics, created by François Rechenmann.

In the fall of 2004, I obtained my `Habilitation à diriger des recherches’ from the Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble. I was appointed senior research scientist (directeur de recherche) at INRIA in the next year. In 2008 I founded with Hans Geiselmann the IBIS group, focusing on the analysis of bacterial regulatory networks by means of experimental and modelling aproaches. This has allowed me to develop an interdisciplinary research activity at the interface of mathematical biology, control theory, computational biology, and microbiology,

In 2021, IBIS was succeeded by the MICROCOSM research group, headed by Delphine Ropers. I am a member of this group and, in parallel, I serve as the scientific director (délégué scientifique) of the INRIA Grenoble – Rhône-Alpes research centre.

Courses

I give courses in bioinformatics and systems biology, in particular on the modeling and simulation of bacterial regulatory networks, at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Lyon and in the Advanced Lecture Course on Computational Systems Biology (CompSysBio), which is held avery two years in Aussois (France). The latest version of these courses, as well as a set of computer exercises for the integrated modeling of genetic and metabolic networks are available from the INSA course web site.

Scientific and administrative responsibilities

I have been a member of the editorial board of the ACM/IEEE Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (2005-2019), the Journal of Mathematical Biology (2008-), and Biosystems (2010-). I am also serving on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Microbiology and Food Chain department of INRAE. Since July 2021, I serve as the scientific director (délégué scientifique) of the INRIA Grenoble – Rhône-Alpes research centre.
