Having been Developper for 25 years at Alcatel and having obtained the Mathematics Master 1 at the Université de Provence, I then passed the French Mathematics Agregation Competition (Concours de l'Agrégation Mathématiques) with success (2009). After a year as High School Mathematics Teacher in Bretagne, I worked again in informatics (2011-2014). In March 2015 I had the opportunity to practice Mathematical Research in the Computer Sciences context. Thus I have prepared a thesis on population protocols. I presented it on December 13, 2018 in Rennes.
