NUMERICAL AND SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING

From a maths-centered background, I focused on development and computer techniques, thus numerical analysis, and recently image and video processing.
I’m interested in implementation details, software quality, standards, portable and flexible techniques used in a scientific R&D context.
I’m also involved in independent Internet-related initiatives, for free tools and free communication. And I nearly feel at home in Japan.
