EducationPhD Computer Science (McGill), 2024;
Master's in Computer Science (McGill), 2019;
BSc in Computer Science and Biology (McGill), 2016. ResearchMy researches lives at the intersection between bioinformatics, computer science and human computing. I am interested in how humans solve problems, how human intelligence can synergize with artificial intelligence, and how serious games can help humans. Most of my work is applied on RNA structure and/or human microbiome data.Prizes and honoursBest Micro-Talk, Riboclub Annual Meeting, 2023 Relevant QCBS research themesPublications11- Learning the Game: Decoding the Differences between Novice and Expert Players in a Citizen Science Game with Millions of Players Conference Proceeding Conference Paper Cai E , Sarrazin-Gendron R , Mutalova R , Ghasemloo Gheidari P , Butyaev A , Richard G , Caisse S , Knight R , Blanchette M , Szantner A , Waldispühl J , 2024 ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 10- Classification and Identification of Non-canonical Base Pairs and Structural Motifs Book Chapter Sarrazin-Gendron, R, Waldispühl, J, Reinharz, V Methods in Molecular Biology (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 9- Modeling and Predicting RNA Three-Dimensional Structures Book Chapter Reinharz, V, Sarrazin-Gendron, R, Waldispühl, J Methods in Molecular Biology (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 8- PERFUMES: pipeline to extract RNA functional motifs and exposed structures Journal Article Chol, A, Sarrazin-Gendron, R, Lecuyer, E, Blanchette, M, Waldispuhl, Jà Bioinformatics (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 7- Finding recurrent RNA structural networks with fast maximal common subgraphs of edge-colored graphs Journal Article Soulé, A, Reinharz, V, Sarrazin-Gendron, R, Denise, A, Waldispühl, J PLoS Computational Biology (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 6- Learning the Game: Decoding the Differences between Novice and Expert Players in a Citizen Science Game with Millions of Players Conference Article Cai, E, Sarrazin-Gendron, R, Mutalova, R, Ghasemloo Gheidari, P, Butyaev, A, Richard, G, Caisse, S, Knight, R, Blanchette, M, Szantner, A, Waldispühl, J ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (Date Added: 2025-07-29) 5- Playing the System: Can Puzzle Players Teach us How to Solve Hard Problems?
