Biography

I received a Master degree in Computer Science from ENS Lyon and UCBL in 1997, a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (UNS) in 2001, and the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2010. I did a post-doc in 2002 at Universitat Polytècnica de Catalunya (UPC), DMA4, Barcelona, Spain. Since September 2002, I am Chargé de Recherche at INRIA Sophia Antipolis in the joint project Mascotte, I3S(CNRS/UNSA)/INRIA. From July 2006 till March 2011, I was team vice leader of the project, and since March 2011 I'm the head of the project.

Research interest:
  • Algorithmics, combinatorial optimization, graph theory
  • WDM networks: traffic grooming, routing and wavelength assignment, protection, reconfiguration
  • Wireless Backhaul networks: design, configuration, routing
  • Design of fault tolerant networks: shared risk resource groups and various kind of protection mechanisms
Projects:
PhD students: Member of Editorial Boards: Program committee member: Organisation committee member: Softwares:
  • DRMSim, a network simulator for the investigation of routing schemes.
  • Grph, a portable graph library tailored to network simulation and graph analysis.
  • Sage open-source mathematical software system (Personnal contribution: patches written and reviewed).
