More specifically, it involves developing methods of automation for analysis and design, control and observation and, more generally for the optimization of biological processes with bioprocesses as the main application. treatment and recovery of biomass.
According to the modeling scale adopted, by considering as an elementary entity of a biological system sometimes the microbial individual, sometimes the floc or even an infinitesimal element of biofilm sometimes still the reactor, He strive to identify and understand the links and interactions which condition the macroscopic behavior observed at the level of a population or a process and to use the generated knowledge (formalized in the form of a system of differential equations) to better understand, even optimize the functioning of the entity studied.
