Yerly Florence

Yerly Florence is an Associate Professor at the Fribourg School of Engineering and Architecture, affiliated with the ChemTech Institute. Her work bridges mathematical modeling, statistics, and data analysis across diverse domains including plant biology, systems biology, and computational methods.

• Education: PhD in Systems Biology (2015, University of Fribourg)

Her research focuses on quantitative plant growth analysis (e.g., auxin transport modeling in Arabidopsis hypocotyls), machine learning applications (e.g., melting point prediction for ionic liquids), and interdisciplinary projects like Beyond Bézier, which reimagines digital typography through mathematical and robotic approaches. She contributes to both academic and professional publications, emphasizing computational tools and biophysical insights.

The Beyond Bézier project (2023–2025), funded by the Réseau de Compétences Design et Arts Visuels, exemplifies her innovative spirit, combining mathematics, robotics, and design. Her publications span topics from gene transfer mechanisms to computational biology, reflecting her interdisciplinary expertise.
