Antoine PERASSO

Professor Antoine PERASSO is affiliated with the Université Bourgogne-Franche-Comté as a full professor in the Chrono-environnement research unit (UMR 6249 CNRS/UFC). His work focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of mathematics, environmental sciences, and life sciences. He holds positions in the DYNABIO, GEODE, PATHOGENES, and POLLUTION research groups.

Education includes a PhD in Mathematics from Université Paris Sud (2009) and an Habilitation à diriger des recherches (2017), both specializing in structured population dynamics and epidemiological modeling. His research emphasizes mathematical frameworks for ecological and health systems, including:

• Population Dynamics: Age-structured models, Lotka-Volterra systems, and resource-consumer interactions
• Epidemiology: Threshold behavior analysis and infection load modeling
• Ecotoxicology: Contaminant impacts on food chains and trophic cascades
• Inverse Problems: Parameter identifiability and model calibration

Recent publications (2014–2021) highlight expertise in process-based ecological modeling (e.g., grassland dynamics), plankton community stability, and prion disease transmission. His work integrates differential equations and numerical simulations to address environmental and health challenges.

Notable contributions include the DynaGraM model for grassland management and collaborations on ecotoxicological risk assessment. Current affiliations include the Chrono-environnement lab in Besançon, France, where he advises students like Mario Saussereau.
