Maurin Gilles
My name is Maurin (first name) Gilles (last name). I am currently pursuing my last year as a student at ISIMA, an engineering school in computer science located in Clermont-Ferrand, France. My cursus includes internships, and from April to September 2026 I am doing one at Ruhr University Bochum, in the research group “Reasoning, Rationality, Science”. Supervised by Dunja Šešelja and Christian Straßer, I am working on Argumentative Agent-Based Models, a topic combining epistemology, formal logic and programming in Julia. I will graduate in October 2026 and my goal is to pursue a PhD afterwards. I am actively looking for a position, and am more generally open to any interesting opportunity :) You find my webpage here.
