After graduation from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecp.fr\/index_html_en\">Ecole Centrale de Paris<\/a>, a higher education establishment for engineers, I completed a PhD program in molecular biology and biophysics at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www-ulp.u-strasbg.fr\">University Louis Pasteur<\/a> of Strasbourg, France. The same year, I was appointed staff scientist of the CNRS, and joined the <a href=\"http:\/\/lbgs.u-strasbg.fr\">biological NMR laboratory<\/a> at the University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg. In 1997, I came for a sabbatical to Stanford University. I liked California so much that I decided to stay: in 2004, I joined the University of California, Davis, with a joint appointment as Professor in the department of Computer Science and the Genome Center.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<p>I have always liked mathematics, physics and biology and this is serving me well in all my research endeavors. With the advent of high-throughput technologies and the concurrent advances in information sciences  biology has become a data-rich science. It is clear that new computational approaches to analyzing data must be developed to take advantage of this wealth of information. There is also a need to integrate this information into models of biological activity and interaction that will enable us to control, manipulate, and create biological systems. Developing new physical and mathematical methods as well as efficient and robust algorithmic implementations within that framework has been the driving force behind all my research projects.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <\/td>\n<td width=\"45%\" valign=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/sindbis-300x225.png\" alt=\"sindbis\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/sindbis-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/sindbis-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/sindbis-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/sindbis.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic\">The geometry of the Sindbis virus<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"45%\" valign=\"center\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/antoine_arthur_big-202x300.jpg\" alt=\"antoine_arthur_big\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/antoine_arthur_big-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/antoine_arthur_big-101x150.jpg 101w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/antoine_arthur_big.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/Family-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/Family-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/Family-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/Family-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.ucdavis.edu\/koehl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2013\/02\/Family.jpg 628w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>I am married and I have two wonderful children.
