Research
I'm a PhD student in Mocqua team, Loria (Nancy, France), supervised by Emmanuel Jeandel and Léo Gayral.
The title of my thesis is Graphical Approach of Symbolic Dynamics.
I'm interested by the following research areas: symbolic dynamics and tilings, graphical languages, quantum computing, P systems and membrane computing, and others models of computations.
