Since oct 2015, the NEW WEBPAGE of the SMILE group is HERE
SMILE is an interdisciplinary research group gathering probabilists, statisticians, bio-informaticians and biologists
SMILE is affiliated to the Stochastics and Biology group of LPMA (Lab of Probability and Random Models) at UPMC (Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 06)
SMILE is hosted within the CIRB (Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology) at Collège de France
SMILE is supported by Collège de France and CNRS

Our of the main goals of the SMILE group is to understand the process of species diversification, using three different approaches:
1. A lineage-based approach enabling the inference of diversification processes from phylogenies;
2. An individual-based approach based on the modeling of either population
genetics or ecological interactions in the speciation process, or both;
3. Mathematical studies linking the former approach to the latter one by means of limit theorems (separation of timescales, invariance principles, dimension reduction…).
