About me

My name is Arthur Carcano, and this website is mostly dedicated to my passion for computer programming. I mostly enjoy programming in Rust, and have authored various libraries and programs in it. I was one of the organizers of the Rust Paris 2024 [fr] event. You can find my computer science related writings on my and my employer's blogs. I also sometimes write about other topics in Contre-feu [fr].

Before being a software engineer, I worked in academic research. I was a PhD student in Mathematics and Computer Science with the InBio team at Institut Pasteur and Inria in Paris.

There, I designed algorithms that use statistical and probabilistic methods to measure how much information biologists can obtain from an experimental protocol, and use this informativeness measure to automatically design the most interesting experiments to perform. I also designed and implemented a software ecosystem around these methods. More information on this topic is available in my PhD. manuscript.

Before starting my PhD, I was a student at the computer science department of École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, France. While at the ENS, I graduated from the Interdisciplinary approaches to life master program, and from the Parisian master of research in Computer Science.
