Nicolas graduated from the University of Paris-Saclay in mathematics. In a context marked by the development of mathematics in the diffusion and production of music, he co-founded companies using sound modeling for its dissemination and new creations. One of them was sold for 130 million dollars. As mathematics now play an increasing role in biology by creating new modeling challenges, he founded, after exchanges with a group of academic biologists and mathematicians, the company Onteis.
