My PhD thesis is written in Markdown and converted in Latex + pdf with Pandoc. The original template is largely inspired from https://github.com/chiakaivalya/thesis-markdown-pandoc.

My thesis is about the dynamic and modeling of chromosome during mitosis in fission yeast. It's all written in french except a summary in english.

You can access to the final pdf here.
