CV
I lead the Living Matter Physics Group at CY Cergy Paris Université. My research develops theoretical and computational frameworks for Active & Living Matter and collective phenomena far from equilibrium, with emphasis on self-organization, non-reciprocal interactions, stochastic dynamics, and information-driven collective behavior in biological and synthetic systems.
