I am an evolutionary biologist, who uses computers and mathematics to explore the evolution of complex biological systems. I am studying how evolution shape genotypes, phenotypes and populations in changing environments, with their share of surprising and counter-intuitive effects.
Depending on their complexity, I usually consider simulation models as experimental systems (Peck, 2004) — I conduct in silico experiments in a computer as one would do in the real world (Hindré et al., 2012).
Check out my Github repositories to learn more about my ongoing modeling projects.

« Simulations are experimental systems. Their complexity can make them closer cousins in complexity to nature itself than to simple analytic models, but with a powerful advantage over the real world: the modeler has complete control of the system. » (Peck, 2004).
