Life

Allouche studied from 1972 at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Saint-Cloud , graduating from the Agrégation in 1975. He received his doctorate in 1978 under Yves Meyer at the University of Paris-South (Thèse de 3ème cycle). He received the second part of the French doctorate (Thèse d'État) in 1983 from Michel Mendès France in Bordeaux. From 1993 he was Director of Research at the CNRS , first in the Faculté des Sciences de Luminy , then in the Computer Science Laboratory in Orsay . Today he is in the Combinatorics and Optimization group at the Institut Mathématique de Jussieu at the University of Paris VI .

Among other things, he was a visiting scientist at the Institute for Dynamic Systems at the University of Bremen.

Among other things, he deals with automatically generated sequences, cellular automata and their connection with number theory and theoretical physics (e.g. quasicrystals ) as well as applications e.g. B. on folding paper and math games.

Valérie Berthé is one of his doctoral students .
