NÉOLAB

NEOLab uses advanced digital techniques to elucidate the complex interactions between marine organisms and their environment. It develops both large-scale 3D bio-physical models and individual and theoretical models that aim to understand how organisms function and evolve to best adapt to their environment. It is based on high-performance numerical computation techniques (FORTRAN, parallelization), genetic algorithms, the implementation of user interfaces in interpreted languages (MATLAB, R, Python, NetLogo, etc.), 2D and 3D visualization methods. NEOLab works closely with observers and experimentalists to calibrate and validate numerical experiments. Development of numerical, theoretical and applied models. Physiological (individual centred), ecological (interactions) and biophysical one- and three-dimensional models.
