Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in computer science at Université TÉLUQ, where my research focuses on speeding up the conversion of integer and floating-point numbers into decimal strings. During my doctoral studies, I designed algorithms and data structures that leverage modern computer architectures to solve large instances of Markov decision processes (MDPs). In my master’s research, I developed routing algorithms for electric vehicles aimed at determining the optimal path between two points while minimizing travel time (including driving, charging, and expected waiting time at charging stations).

Converting Binary Floating-Point Numbers to Shortest Decimal Strings: An Experimental Review

When sharing or logging numerical data, we must convert binary floating-point numbers into their decimal string representations. For example, the number $\pi$ might become …
