Guillaume Deffuant is Head of the "Laboratoire d'Ingénierie des Systèmes Complexes" in Cemagref Clermont-Ferrand. His research interest is the simulation of complex systems, especially through the involvement of dynamic geometric components and structures. The complex dynamics obtained can be related to cognitive, social or ecological systems. He graduated from Ecole Polytechnique and obtained a PhD in Cognitive Science in 1992.
