Presentation

I develop methods based on ontologies for analyzing biomedical data. The main applications typically involve knowledge representation and bioinformatics.
My approach consists in exploiting symbolic domain knowledge for improving the integration and analysis of large, complex, highly interdependent and often incomplete datasets. I use Semantic Web tehnologies (such as RDF, SPARQL and OWL) for integrating distributed data and for combining different kinds of reasoning such as deduction, classification or comparison.
Keywords: data integration, symbolic knowledge, ontologies, Semantic Web, life science data, biomedical.

I am a professor at ISTIC, the computer science department of Rennes1 university. On the research side, I am (proud to be) a member of the Dyliss team at IRISA and involved in b<>com. I teach computer science at ISTIC, and data science in the Bioinformatics MSc degree with Emmanuelle Becker and Yann Le Cunff.

    • Anita Burgun (Univ. rené Descartes, Paris)
    • Marie-Dominique Devignes (LORIA Nancy)
    • Michel Dumontier (Stanford Univ.)
    • Christine Froidevaux (LRI Orsay)
    • Fabien Gandon (Inria Sophia-Antipolis)
    • Anne Siegel (IRISA Rennes)
    • Alexandre Termier (IRISA Rennes)
  • I defended my PhD on 21st December 2003 about Modeling, representing and sharing symbolic knowledge on brain cortex anatomy (supervisor: Bernard Gibaud). The abstract is available in English. The full dissertation in French is available as postscript (9.7Mb) and as pdf (6.5Mb)
