Biography: Dr. Michel Planat was a researcher at the National Center of Scientific Research in France from 1982 to 2018. From 1980 to 2001, he conducted research on nonlinear waves in piezoelectric crystals and 1/f noise in quartz resonators. He established links between 1/f noise and number theory and conducted research on the Riemann hypothesis. He also discovered Ramanujan sums signal processing. From 2002 to 2018, he focused on quantum information theory, working on mutually unbiased bases, quantum entanglement and contextuality, and quantum computing, using mathematical tools such as finite geometries, number theory, dessins d’enfants, and free group theory. Since 2019, he has published collaborative papers on topological quantum computing, as well as genomics and transcriptomics. The main tool he uses is the representation theory (with character varieties) of infinite groups associated with relevant DNA/RNA sequences.
