About

Currently, I am research engineer at Linagora Labs (Toulouse, France) and I am working within the OpenPaaS project. From 2012 to 2013, I was involved in the FP7 european project PLAY and the ANR french project SocEDA.

From October 2009 to September 2012, I was a PhD student at the LaBRI (Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique), the computer science lab of Bordeaux 1 University. I defended my PhD in September 2012. My advisors were Yves Métivier and Jérémie Chalopin, and the subject of my thesis deals with several problems of distributed systems over anonymous networks. The manuscript can be found here.

Then, I was teaching assistant at University of Bordeaux and I work within the research theme Distributed Algorithms of the team Combinatorics and Algorithms at LaBRI.

My research interests focus on different models of distributed computing in the context of anonymous networks. I am particularly interested in characterizing solutions of several problems such as leader election and enumeration/naming and distributed snapshot where the underlying network is anonymous (i.e. each process cannot be identified).

Besides, I am also interested in networking problems: ubiquitous computing (e.g. web services) and automatic generation of middleware architectures for adaptive applications. These questions aim to provide a generalization of the conception of communicating applications that sit over any networks.
