"a brief two-sentences CV" (200words):

"In the early 1990s, with R. Cespuglio and P. Laporte, we were the first to measure neuro-optophysiologic signals in freely moving rat in order to study paradoxical sleep by optical fibers and minimally invasive surgery (see below) by picosecond time-resolved spectroscopy .

For many years I have developed

1/ a noninvasive picosecond optical tomography (POT) applied to live zebra finches, fascinating songbirds, and

2/ research within the Partial Differential Equations (homogeneization, analytical solution, theorem)

3/ in social sciences (ethology, social brain theory).
