Research interests : text algorithms for bioinformatics and musicology

Bioinformatics

I am a member of the Bonsai bioinformatics group (Pr. Hélène Touzet) at LIFL / INRIA Lille.

Research topics

  • NGS algorithms and indexation...
    ... especialy for hematology and leukemia analysis, together with Mikaël Salson
  • RNA patterns, RNA suboptimal structures, ncRNA discovery
  • GPU/manycore high-performance computing in bioinformatics
  • Some keywords/buzzwords: multi-core, GPGPU, suffix trees, word combinatorics, repetitions detection, runs, Bloom filters, sequence similarity, sequence indexing, sequence assembly...
  • Past research themes

    • FPGA and reconfigurable computing (2004-2007)
    • weigthed finite automata, epsilon-transitions (2004-2006)
    • identification of the canine olfactive repertory (2004-2005)

    Computer musicology

    I am also the head of the "Algorithmic musicology" exploratory action at LIFL/MIS.

    Research topics

    • comparison of symbolic musical sequences
    • structure analysis : fugues, sonata forms...

    Short Bio

    Mathieu Giraud is a CNRS Associate Researcher in the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille (LIFL), the departement of Computer Science of the Université Lille 1, in France. He is also a member of the joint Bonsai project with the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique (INRIA). He serves as member of the INRIA national evaluation board.

    He obtained a MS in École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in 2002, and a PhD from the University Rennes 1 in 2005. He worked on weighted automata and specialized architectures using FPGAs. His current research interests target text algorithms, bioinformatics, RNA bioinformatics, high-performance computing using GPUs and many-cores architectures, and computer musicology.
