Yves-Fernand N’Da holds a PhD in mathematics from Laval University. His areas of research interest are abstract harmonic analysis and theoretical computer science and their applications to living systems. Passionate about programming, he has worked as a freelance developer for a number of companies. Currently,  as a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Holly Witteman’s laboratory, he joined the CommuniT1D project team to make his contribution, through mathematics, to improving the living conditions of people living with Type 1 diabetes. He is very enthusiastic about this project, because it gives him the opportunity to apply his knowledge (in fundamental mathematics) to make everyday life easier for people living with diabetes.
