Oleksandr Zaitsev is a computer science researcher with 11 years of experience bridging software evolution, agent-based modelling, and machine learning, currently working at CIRAD in Montpellier where he manages the Cormas multi-agent simulation platform. He combines academic rigor from a PhD track and MSc in Data Science with practical industry experience as a data scientist building ML solutions for digital marketing at N-iX and a Google Summer of Code alumnus. His background includes research engineer roles at Inria and international internships, reflecting a pattern of short, focused collaborations that accelerate project impact. He also has teaching experience in discrete mathematics and programming, which informs his clear, reproducible approach to research software. Less obvious: he has repeatedly moved between academia and industry via CIFRE and contract researcher positions, making him adept at translating scientific models into production-ready tools.
