Welcome Robin.
Looking forward to meeting you and learning more about the Learning and Simulation  aspects of the department.

Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts . . . they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun; but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric.”

–Edna St. Vincent Millay,

I am also cross-appointed by the Biology Department and the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research at the University of Windsor. I was senior scientist, from 2000 to 2004, in the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Geneva Switzerland. I completed my Ph.D. in computer science applied to bioinformatics at INRIA of Rennes, France, in 1997, and obtained my Habilitation a Diriger la Recherche in 2004 in the University of Rennes.

> I study the evolutionary process and the emergence of species in an artificial life simulated ecosystems. I have conceived an individual-based evolving predator-prey ecosystem simulation called EcoSim. The agents evaluate their environment  (e.g., distance to predator/prey, distance to potential breeding partner, distance to food, energy level), their internal states (e.g., fear, hunger, curiosity) and choose among several possible actions such as evasion, eating or breeding. The behavioral model of each individual is unique and is the outcome of the evolution process. One major and unique contribution of this simulation is that it combines a behavioral, an evolutionary and a speciation mechanism. This approach allows interesting studies on theoretical ecology and artificial life in collaboration with biologists. For example, it is used to study the species abundance distribution, patterns and rates of speciation, the evolution of sexual and asexual populations, the interacti
