Laurent Viennot

Position: Research scientist hired by INRIA and hosted by LIAFA, head of GANG.
(The “I” in “INRIA” and “LIAFA” stands for “informatique” which is an interesting word for designating computer science.)

Fundamental principle: Principe d'incertitude.
(A rule that allows to cope with many contradictions coming from other principles.)

Priorities: my children and my wife > bonheur ≥ love > social utility ≥ art de vivre.
(Pour le reste, it is a total disorder strictly lower than the above priorities.)

Natural language: français.
(English is more compact but french carries more information. Proof: un bon argument.)

Interests: algorithms, graphs, networks, distributed computing, quantum mechanics, every-day-life algorithms, bouldering, drawing.
(Bouldering at Bleau and drawing are also some kind of research.)

(I read some mails. There is a selection algorithm which is secret and depends on my mood. Generally, either I answer quite quickly, either it is difficult for me to answer.)
