Gaétan Richard — Research

Research interests

I am doing research inside AmacC team of the GREYC laboratory (Normandie univ., UNICAEN, ENSICAEN, CNRS). My main research subject is complexity of simple computation systems; especially cellular automata. My work mixes algorithmic and dynamical systems approaches over those models.
