Alexis Drogoul
UMMISCO, IRD
France
|
Brief Bio
Alexis Drogoul holds a doctorate and a habilitation thesis in computer science. He was a professor at Sorbonne University from 1994 to 2004, and since 2005 he has been a senior researcher at IRD, the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development. His work, which has been the subject of over 200 articles, focuses on the development of software tools (such as GAMA, http://gama-platform.org/) to support the modelling and simulation of complex socio-environmental systems, with a view to facilitating interdisciplinary work and involving social stakeholders in the construction of models. In this capaci
ty, he has helped to define the fundamental concepts of 'agent-based modelling', while working on the applications of this paradigm to environmental decision support, particularly in Vietnam, where he has helped to set up several research laboratories on this theme since 2006.
