ANTONINI Marc

Co-founder & CSO

Marc is a research director at CNRS. He leads the MediaCoding research team at the I3S laboratory (15 people). He has held numerous leadership positions in the signal theory community. He is at the origin of the European project "OligoArchive" on the issue of storing information on DNA. From October 2021, he is the program director of the PEPR Exploratory “MoleculArXiv” on massive data storage on DNA and artificial polymers. Marc Antonini has been the chair of the international JPEG DNA working group since 2020. He is the author of more than 300 articles, 7 book chapters and 13 patents (9365 citations, source Google Scholar January 2023). He is also co-founder and scientific advisor of Cintoo, a spin-off from the University of Côte d'Azur and the CNRS. He is a member of the IEEE and AFNOR. In 2023 he received a medal of Innovation from CNRS.
