Teaching

Most of the members of ERABLE are Assistant / Associate or Full Professors and as such have a heavy load of teaching. Depending on the country, this represents between 150 to 192 hours in front of a class plus the additional work of preparing the courses and exams, and of correcting the latter. Many are also responsible for some of the university courses at the undergraduate or graduate levels.

More in detail:

• In France:

  • Hubert Charles is responsible for the Master of Modelling and Bioinformatics (BIM) at the Insa of Lyon. He teaches 192 hours per year in statistics and biology.

  • Pierluigi Crescenzi taught 120h (72h of Programming in Java for the undergraduate program in Computer Science and 48 of Distributed Algorithms for the Master in Computer Science) at the University of Florence.

  • Vincent Lacroix is responsible for several courses both at the University (L2: Bioinformatics, L3: Advanced Bioinformatics) and at the Insa (M1: Gene Expression, M2: Introduction to Bioinformatics for Biochemists). He teaches 192 hours per year in bioinformatics and statistics.

  • Arnaud Mary taught 110 hours in 2015 as a recently recruited personnel of the University of Lyon (L1: mathematics; L2: bioinformatics; M1: data analysis; M1: computer science, as well as 8h at the M2 in Computer Science at the ENS Lyon).

  • Cristina Vieira is responsible for the Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics academic career of the Master Ecosciences-Microbiology. She was awarded an IUF (Institut Universitaire de France) distinction and teaches genetics 64 hours per year at the University and ENS Lyon.

• In Italy:

  • Alberto Marchetti-Spaccamela taught 60 hours of Computing Models (undergraduate class) and 30 hours of Privacy in the electronic society (master class) at Sapienza University of Rome.

  • Nadia Pisanti taught 72h (24h of Programming in C for the undergraduate program in Computer Science and 42 of Algorithms for Bioinformatics for the Master in Computer Science) at the University of Pisa.

• In The Netherlands:

  • Gunnar Klau taught 40h (BSc course in Algorithm Engineering) at the Free University of Amsterdam, as well as one day of a two-day summer school for PhD students and postdocs on Biological Network Analysis at Free University Medical Center Amsterdam.

Inria or CNRS Junior and senior researchers as well as PhD students and postdocs are also involved in teaching. Notably Alice Julien-Laferrière (PhD student) taught 80 hours of Applied Mathematics and Bioinformatics at the Department of Biology (undergraduate students); Hélène Lopez-Maestre (PhD student) and Laura Urbini (PhD student) taught each 64 hours of Mathematics and Statistics at the Department of Biology (undergraduate students); Marie-France Sagot (Senior Inria Researcher) taught 6 hours at the Master 2 in Computer Science at the ENS Lyon; Blerina Sinaimeri (Junior Inria Researcher) taught 8h in Discrete Mathematics at the Master of Modelling and Bioinformatics (BIM), INSA, and Master 1 MIV, University Lyon 1, as well as 10h at the Master 2 in Computer Science at the ENS Lyon; Fabrice Vavre taught 25h on symbiosis (L3, M1, M2, University Lyon 1, ENS Lyon, University of Poitiers).
