News (2010):
Starting from April 2010, I'm with the Data Mining and Theoretical Bioinformatics Team at the Image Sciences, Computer Sciences and Remote Sensing Laboratory of the University of Strasbourg, France. Visit my new web page.

I'm still looking for a job for next year though... preferably faculty, but I'll also consider exceptionally interesting (content-wise) post-doc offers.
Preferable starting date: April-May 2011 (negotiable).
My CV (updated 2010-08-25).

Former Research:

From December 2004 to April 2010 I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Computer Networks Group, Computer Science Department, University of Basel.

The focus of my research was the automatic evolution of programs based on chemical computing, with focus on the fraglets language and related string-based artificial chemistries. My work was funded by the European Union under the BIONETS project.

Before joining the University of Basel, I was with Hitachi Europe, Sophia Antipolis Laboratory, France (2002-2004). I hold a doctoral degree from the University of Liege, Belgium (2003), on adaptive multi-resource management for group communication over active networks. I have also worked for KPN Research in the Netherlands (1996-1998), and Telefonica I+D in Spain (1993-1996).
