Biography

Du Castel was born in 1952 in France a descendant of

Ecole Polytechnique with a 1977 PhD from the University of Paris in Theoretical Computer Science, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the IBM France Research Center before hiring with Schlumberger in France in 1978. He emigrated to the United States in 1983 where he has lived in Austin, Texas since, becoming an American citizen in 1994.[citation needed
]

In 2000, du Castel was invited by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence to make a presentation of artificial intelligence advances in the industry that were original to academia. Consequently, du Castel was invited to present at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2001),[3] Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2001),[4] University of Texas at Austin (2002),[5] Peking University (2002),[6] Tsinghua University (2002),[7] Purdue University (2002),[8] Grenoble Institute of Technology (2003),[9] University of Paris (2004)[10] and University of Hamburg (2004),[11] which increasingly constituted the matter of a book on the relationship between religion and digital networks.

trust. The book eventually proposed in 2008 a reference for the field of Computer Theology, following the road traced earlier by Donald Knuth[15][16]
and Anne Foerst,[17] aiming at a better understanding of computer evolution as well as religion.
