Biography

I am currently the scientific leader of COATI, a joint project-team between the research center of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée and the I3S laboratory which itself belongs to the CNRS and the University Nice - Sophia Antipolis (UNS). I received a Master degree in Computer Science from ENS Lyon and UCBL in 1997, a PhD in Computer Science from 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. In September 2002, I became Chargé de Recherche at Inria Sophia Antipolis. I was a member of the joint project-team Mascotte between INRIA and the I3S laboratory(CNRS/UNS) till December 2012. I was team vice-leader of Mascotte from July 2006 till March 2011, and then the scientific leader of the team till December 2012. In January 2013, we started the new joint project-team COATI. In 2016, I have been promoted Research Director.

2018
MULTIMOD Project meeting of ANR project MultiMod -- Sophia Antipolis, France -- September 11, 2018.
This summer, I was a mentor for Sagemath in the context of Google Summer of Code. The students, Sai Harsh Tondomker and Meghana M. Reddy have implemented, among others, algorithms for decomposing a graph into 3-connected components and organizing these componens as a SPQR-tree. See tickets #22157 and #25598 and the projects reports of Sai Harsh Tondomker and Meghana M. Reddy.
Attend (and organize) Summer School RESCOM 2018 of pôle RESCOM of GDR RSD on Apprentissage et fouille de données dans les réseaux -- Porquerolles, France -- June 18-22, 2018.
This summer, I'm mentoring students in the context of Google Summer of Code. The goal is to implement decomposition into 3-connected components of a graph, and the construction of a SPQR-tree in Sagemath.
