I was born near Paris, France in 1960, received a M.Sc. degree from the Instituto de Matematica e Estatistica of the Universidade de Sao Paulo in 1986 and a Ph.D. from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble in 1990. I joined the CNRS at the Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallelisme of the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France, in October 1990. In September 1997, I moved to Sophia Antipolis, with the joint project CNRS/INRIA/UNSA MASCOTTE, at the INRIA Sophia Antipolis.

My research focuses on the rich interdependence between theoretical algorithms design, models, and experimental analysis. Areas of applications include communication networks and optimisation. In particular, my current research is concentrated on the design of optical (free-space and WDM) networks, and mobile communications. I have published over 100 papers in international journals and conferences,  edited 10 books, and  organized and served in Programme Committees for many conferences and international summer schools.

For the years 2001 and 2002, I was General co-Chair of the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS (San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale), and Programme co-Chair of the Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science - STACS (Dresden and Juan Les Pins).

I serve on the editorial boards of the journals Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC), Parallel Algorithms And Applications, Parallel Processing Letters (PPL), and Journal of Interconnection Networks (JOIN).

I am member of the Steering Committees of the following international conferences and workshops:

I am member of the Advisory Board of the following international conferences and workshops: At a national level, I am involved with the organization of the following annual scientific meetings: which are part of the activities proposed by the Action TAROT (Techniques Algorithmiques, Réseaux, et Optimisation pour les Télécommunications) of the GdR ARP (Architecture, Réseaux, Parallélisme) of the CNRS.

I also served as:
