معرفی
Antoine Limasset is a Researcher (Chargé de recherche) at CNRS, affiliated with the CRIStAL research center and the BONSAI team at Université de Lille, France. His work focuses on computational methods and data structures in sequence bioinformatics, particularly addressing challenges in genome assembly, metagenomics, and third-generation sequencing data analysis. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Université de Rennes 1 (2014-2017), supervised by Pierre Peterlongo and Dominique Lavenier, followed by a postdoctoral position at Université Libre de Bruxelles (2017-2018).
Key research areas include de Bruijn graph algorithms, k-mer indexing, and scalable genomic data processing. Limasset has developed tools like BLight for efficient k-mer management, STRONG for metagenomic strain resolution, and ELECTOR for evaluating long-read correction methods. He actively contributes to conference committees, including SPIRE, RECOMB, and ACM-BCB, and leads the ANR JCJC grant on graph structures for third-generation sequencing exploration.
He advises two Ph.D. students: Coralie Rohmer (on multiple alignment algorithms for third-gen sequencing) and Léa Vandamme (on indexing third-gen sequencing datasets). His publications span high-impact venues like ISMB, WABI, and Genome Biology, with a focus on optimizing algorithms for genomic data scalability and accuracy.
