Rémi Coulom's Home Page
Welcome to my home page. I have been working at Kayufu since 2014. My e-mail address is R e m i . Coulom at gmail dot com.
On this page, you'll find some of my software and papers. I also post news on Facebook, and Twitter.
In the past, I was Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Lille, and a member of the SequeL research group.
I am hosting goratings.org, the ICGA Tournaments database, and Crazy Sensei.
