Samuel Bottani

Samuel Bottani is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Paris, affiliated with the Laboratory of Complex Matters and Systems (UMR 7057 CNRS). He serves as co-head of the Bioengineering and Innovation in Neurosciences track within the Biomedical Engineering Master program and is spearheading the launch of the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Paris.

His educational background includes:

• Doctorate in Theoretical Physics (1992-1996) from University of Paris 6, specializing in statistical physics
• Interuniversity Masters in Physics (1989-1991) from ENS, University of Paris 6, and University of Paris 7
• Preparatory diplomas in Physics (1986-1989) from ETH Zurich

Dr. Bottani's research focuses on applying computational and theoretical methods to biological problems. His work encompasses gene expression dynamics, control of genetic networks, effects of gene copy numbers, and living artificial neuronal networks. He actively collaborates with experimentalists while championing innovative pedagogy in higher education through technology-enhanced learning environments.

As an academic leader, he directed the Doctoral Training Center for Professional Integration (CFDip) for Sorbonne Paris Cité and co-directed the A+ evaluated Doctoral School ED474. His current initiative developing the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering demonstrates his commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration in health engineering.

He maintains active involvement in digital pedagogy initiatives through the Support Service for Innovative Pedagogies and the Diderot Working Group on Digital Uses, while continuing research at the Laboratory of Complex Matters and Systems.
