Joël Ouaknine is a Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Saarbrücken, Germany. His research interests straddle theoretical computer science and mathematics, and lie mainly in the area of dynamical systems and computation, making use of tools from number theory, Diophantine geometry, and algebraic geometry. Joël studied mathematics at McGill University, and received his PhD in Computer Science from Oxford University in 2001. He subsequently held postdoc positions at Tulane University and Carnegie Mellon University, and worked as an academic in the Computer Science Department at Oxford University from 2004 to 2016, becoming Full Professor in 2010. He received the Roger Needham Award in 2010, an ERC grant in 2015, and was elected member of Academia Europaea in 2020. He received the 2020 Arto Salomaa Prize (jointly with James Worrell), for "outstanding contributions to Theoretical Computer Science, in particular to the theory of timed automata and to the analysis of dynamical systems". He joined the Emmy Network in 2021.
