Yann Ponty is a tenured CNRS Researcher at the Computer Science Department (LIX) of École Polytechnique (Institut Polytechnique de Paris, France). He leads the AMIBio team and serves as Deputy Director of LIX. His work focuses on developing bioinformatics methods at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and molecular biology, particularly for RNA structure prediction, design, and evolution. He holds leadership roles in the ISCB Board of Directors (2025-2027) and the HDR referent for the IDIA department (CS&Interactions) at IP Paris. Research Interests: RNA folding/design/evolution, RNA-RNA/RNA-protein interactions, random generation, enumerative combinatorics, discrete algorithms, parameterized complexity, RNA visualization Key Contributions: Developed algorithms for RNA inverse folding, pseudoknot modeling, and dynamic programming optimization Collaborations: Partnerships with institutions like Simon Fraser University, Boston College, and Université Paris-Saclay His recent publications (15 most recent) span RNA structure prediction, pseudoknot partition functions, linear-time inverse folding algorithms, and parameterized sampling techniques. The work emphasizes dynamic programming, combinatorial approaches, and integration of experimental data for improving RNA modeling. Scientific awards include election to the ISCB Board of Directors (2025-2027) and leadership roles in academic networks like GdR BIM. He actively contributes to software development (VARNA, RNANR, SPARCS, IncaRNAtion, RNARedPrint) and serves as Associate Editor for Bioinformatics (OUP). Teaching engagements include graduate-level courses in combinatorial optimization, RNA bioinformatics, and algorithms at Université Paris-Saclay and École Polytechnique.
