معرفی
Juan Cortés is a CNRS Research Director at LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse), leading the Robotics and Interactions Team. He holds a PhD in automated systems/robotics from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (2003). His research spans robotics, artificial intelligence, and computational biology, with focus areas including:
- Protein conformational dynamics and disordered proteins
- Robotic motion planning and multi-agent systems
- Development of computational tools for structural biology (e.g., AFflecto, MoMA-LoopSampler)
His publications emphasize algorithm development for molecular flexibility analysis and robotic coordination. Recent work explores Wasserstein distance metrics for protein ensemble comparisons and optimization methods for energy landscapes. Cortés contributes to understanding pathogenic protein structures (e.g., huntingtin) and surface-molecule interactions.
He advises on doctoral committees and collaborates internationally but currently lists no direct students or major awards.
