Presentation
My career path is a bit atypical. In three lines:
- I worked in the industry for 7 years in France for clients such as the French Navy (DCNS), EADS, Thales and PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN.
- In 2010, I re-oriented my career toward research and gained a PhD in Computer Science in 2016 with the University of Trento, Italy.
- In 2018, I founded a startup with some friends, in order to apply my research.
Research overview
My research interests are around resource optimization in data centres, functional programming and constraint programming.
I am part of these EU FP7/H2020 projects:
- HUBiquitous: Empowering start-up ecosystems through sustainable collaboration of African and European Digital Innovation.
- WaziHub: Accelerating IoT and Big Data innovation in Africa.
- Waziup: Open Innovation Platform for IoT and Big-Data in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- DC4Cities: better use of renewable energies (solar, wind, hydro) in data centres.
- iCore: use cognitive technologies to adress the heterogeneity of the vast amount of object interconnected in the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm.
See my pages/research.html for other projects and my publications.
