After graduation from the Ecole Centrale de Paris, a higher education establishment for engineers, I completed a PhD program in molecular biology and biophysics at the University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg, France. The same year, I was appointed staff scientist of the CNRS, and joined the biological NMR laboratory 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. I have always liked mathematics and biology, and I discovered after my PhD that computational biology and offers me a great opportunity to combine these two interests. I am fascinated by proteins, and the diversity of their structure space. From the beginning, I have been puzzled by the fact that certain protein folds have a single representative, while others such as the TIM barrel fold have many representatives. Trying to solve this puzzle has been the driving force behind all my research projects. I have two wonderful children, and I enjoy spending time with them. I love my family and my job.
