Summary
Pierre Poulain is an Associate Professor in Bioinformatics based in Paris with a PhD in Physics and over 15 years of experience applying computational methods to molecular modelling and structural bioinformatics. His work ranges from developing C++/Python libraries and coarse-grained DNA models to Monte Carlo algorithms (Replica Exchange, Wang–Landau) and modelling of small heat-shock proteins and integrins. He blends academic leadership and teaching with practical IT and data-management experience, having served as an IT systems administrator, GIS data analyst and IT project manager, and led capacity-building research work in Congo. An open-science advocate, he trains researchers in Python and reproducible practices and enjoys tackling problems at human and scientific interfaces. He also brings an unexpected practical creativity to his work — a dedicated cook and technology enthusiast who thrives on interdisciplinary challenges.
