Since he was 11 years old, Florian has been programming, and this has become second nature for him. In particular, during his studies in mathematics, physics, and computer science at the prestigious Grande École in France (E.N.S. Ulm), and the four subsequent years as a teacher and a developer, he learned to master parallelization and low-level programming in C, Fortran, and Python. Florian is very versatile, quick to learn, and a very efficient programmer.

Experience

Radiative Hydrodynamics Code LICORICE

https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.05880

LICORICE is a highly parallelized (Fortran, OpenMP, and MPI) code for radiative hydrodynamical simulations. I have extensively worked in its development, and I have used it successfully for astrophysics numerical simulations. In addition to that, I wrote Python and Fortran subroutines for post-treatment of terabytes of data.
This work led to several scientific articles highly rated by the community.

Scraping and AI on Twitter

I have developed a scraping library for scraping twitter (millions of tweets per week), and analyzing the data with NLP, and Neural networks.
