In the Theoretical Climate Dynamics (TCD) group we study climate dynamics on all time scales -- from intraseasonal, through interannual and interdecadal, to millenial -- using the methods of dynamical systems theory. We apply these methods to observations, numerical models, and experiments concerning the climate system -- the atmosphere, ocean, bio- and cryosphere -- through collaboration with researchers in North America and on other continents. Our group is led by Prof. Michael Ghil of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (Center for Earth Systems Research) at UCLA.

At the European Center for Virtual Reality (CERV, Brest), we aim at building the virtuoscope : a virtual lab for studying models for complex systems. I aim to develop enactic : a methodology for building the virtuoscope that uses enaction paradigm at the level of models involved in the phenomenological knowledge of a particular domain. I've applied it to remote observation of sea states, Earth's thermal history and virtual sailing. It seems that the way by wich we creates autonomy based phenomenological models for natural phenomena also produces simulations that are of great interest for teaching.

Every day, millions of humans make decisions about issues of interest for the group or the community they represent. Equivalent processes have been described well by several authors for animal societies. Group members must take decisions satisfying the majority of individuals (i.e. decision accuracy) but in a relative short period (i.e. decision speed). Much time may be required to make an accurate decision between alternatives, because evaluating information may be a lengthy process. Nevertheless, empirical studies demonstrating the conflict between speed and accuracy in decision making are mostly investigations in the field of human performance and psychology. Several factors can affect this trade-off between speed and accuracy. Better information can enhance the efficiency of the decision. However, the decision efficiency also depends on the way individuals are inter-connected, that is, according to the social network. I want to assess how the information quality and social network may enhance the collective decision-making by increasing both the accuracy and the speed of the decision.

My work mainly concerns the analysis and modeling of large networks encountered in practice, such as the Internet, the web, social networks or legal networks. These networks are typically represented by graphs and a set of techniques stemming from graph theory has already proven to be very useful to characterize and analyze their structure and to model their behavior by highlighting specific properties. My work follows this approach by proposing new theoretical tools in order to identify non-trivial properties of these networks and to define new models able to capture these properties.

_Comparative biology and evolution of catecholamine systems and forebrain in Chordates: The goal of our research is to understand how the neuromodulatory systems using monoamines (dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin) have been shaped and organized along protochordates and vertebrates evolution. This work includes the analysis of the genetic mechanisms of the differentiation of the various catecholamine systems is several groups of chordates (ascidia, amphioxus, and zebrafish), with the aim of better understanding how the different functions of these systems has been recruited along evolution, and how their dysfunctions contribute to several pathologies ( Parkinson_s disease and ADHD).____Mechanisms of the development and evolution of the forebrain in vertebrates: we are studying the rôle of genes which govern the formation and the organization of the telencephalon, hypothalamus and diencephalon, to understand how these areas have been modified and adapted to functions according the lifestyle of the different groups of vertebrates
