معرفی
Mathieu Giraud serves as a CNRS Research Director at the CRIStAL laboratory (CNRS, University of Lille, Centrale Lille), where he leads the Algomus music computing team and holds a seat on the Unit Council. His interdisciplinary work applies algorithmic sequence analysis to cultural heritage and healthcare domains from his office in ESPRIT's Scientific City.
His research spans bioinformatics and computational musicology with equal rigor. For over 15 years, he has developed DNA sequence analysis methods to improve leukemia diagnosis and monitoring, currently serving as technical manager of Inria's VidjilNet consortium. Simultaneously, his Algomus team pioneers music computing through modeling melody, harmony, rhythm, and musical structure as algorithmic sequences, exploring whether computers can authentically understand and generate artistic compositions. He actively addresses medical data ethics in clinical applications and champions open science principles.
Giraud maintains robust collaborations with musicians (artists, educators, public audiences), clinicians, and healthcare professionals to translate computational research into real-world impact. His technical leadership in VidjilNet drives open-source tool development for oncology sequencing analysis.
He founded and directs the Algomus laboratory for music informatics while maintaining legacy involvement with the Bonsai bioinformatics team. His research environment fosters cross-disciplinary partnerships between computer scientists, healthcare providers, and cultural practitioners to solve complex sequence analysis challenges in health and the arts.
