I’m Tristan Stérin, a third year PhD. student in the
TAPDANCE team at the
Hamilton Institute,
Maynooth University
(Ireland), under the supervision of
Prof. Damien Woods.
My current research lies at the intersection of
DNA Computing
and the study of
Models of Computation. This research is best embodied by the following question:
« How to use the interaction between DNA strands in order to
implement some models of computation ? ».
In the past, my research has focused on Machine Learning, in
particular the fields of Computer Vision, Music Generation and
Finance.
