Philippe Malbos

I am a professor of mathematics at the Institut Camille Jordan, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, working on higher algebras, rewriting theory, and biomolecular topology.

My research lies at the interface of mathematics and theoretical computer science, with a focus on rewriting theory in its categorical, homotopical, formal, and algebraic aspects, and on its applications to algebra and category theory.

I lead DeltaFold, an interdisciplinary project combining computational topology, bioinformatics, and structural biology to extract evolutionary signals from protein three-dimensional structures. The project is supported by the CNRS as a PRIME project.

I teach mathematics, artificial intelligence, and theoretical computer science in the Department of Mathematics at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. I currently serve as Director of the Double Degree program in Mathematics and Life Sciences, and I organize the BioMaths Camp.

I am also involved in the Lyon e-Health School project, where I coordinate the educational program and the digital strategy.

I am an editor of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science.

I am a member of Société mathématique de France, Société informatique de France, Réseau Thématique Topologie Algébrique et Géométrique, GDR Informatique Fondamentale et ses Mathématiques (IFM).
