Description: Luidnel Maignan's Academic Activities
This academic year and the previous one, I have a "délégation" Inria at the QuaCS team at the Laboratoire Méthodes Formelles of Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay / Université Paris-Saclay . Since September 2012, I’m “Maitre de conférence” at Université Paris-Est Créteil (France) , my research being assigned to Laboratoire d’Algorithmique, Complexité et Logique (LACL) and my teaching to Faculté des Sciences et Technologies (FST) .
Before that I’ve spent a year at Université de Paris-Diderot (½ ATER in LIAFA, now IRIF), four years at Université Paris-Saclay and INRIA Saclay (PhD student with teachings, then ½ ATER at LRI/INRIA). As student, I’ve been “chargé de TD” during my second and third year and a research engineer during a summer at the end of my fourth year.
I mostly work in the field of cellular automata and their generalizations , but I do that using many insights from physics , as reflected by the two main topics of my publications: cellular fields , and global transformations . In cellular fields , one studies systems as collection of interacting fields. In global transformations , one studies the general theory of dynamical systems with dynamic spaces ( e.g. morphogenesis, general relativistic physics). More recently, I’m interested in the general theory o
