Home
Hi, my name is Florian MAILLARD, I am an engineer and researcher working at the intersection of complex systems, scientific analysis, verification, automation, and technical documentation.
My background combines electrochemistry, railway engineering, scientific computing, and reproducible technical workflows. This website presents selected projects, research work, engineering methods, and systems that I develop, maintain, or operate.
Selected work
- datagouv.fr Toolkit and BAAC 2005–2024 Analysis — a Python toolkit and reproducible open-data workflow covering acquisition, validation, analysis, testing, packaging, and publication.
- Lithium-Ion Battery Diagnostics — research on electrochemical diagnostics using noise measurements, signal analysis, and experimental methods.
- Engineering Evidence and Controlled Automation — methods for producing traceable engineering evidence and introducing automation while preserving verification and control.
- MPSI Mathematics — a complete mathematics course maintained in LaTeX, with Python-generated figures, automated builds, GNU Info conversion, and continuous integration.
Approach
The material published here comes from actual research, engineering work, software projects, or systems I operate.
I try to document more than final results. Where relevant, I also describe assumptions, constraints, verification methods, implementation choices, limitations, and trade-offs. The objective is to keep technical work reproducible, inspectable, and useful beyond its immediate context.
How this site is built
The source is written in Org Mode and converted to static HTML by Hugo. The generated files are served by nginx from a Debian server. The complete publishing path is described in This Website.
Reading the site requires only static files: there is no application database, user account, analytics platform, or advertising system behind the pages. The optional full-text search is implemented separately with a small server-side SQLite FTS5 index.
