Welcome to my page!

I am a professor of computer science at the university of Bordeaux, affiliated with LaBRI. I am the head of the Distributed Computing group and a member of the Graph Theory group (both in the Combinatorics and Algorithms department). From 2008 to 2012, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa with Paola Flocchini and Nicola Santoro. I obtained the PhD in Bordeaux in 2007. My research interests include highly dynamic networks, computational complexity, distributed and non-distributed algorithms, and all kind of things that interact in a decentralized way. Besides theory, I enjoy programming and I am the founder of the JBotSim project, a tool for fast prototyping of distributed algorithms in dynamic networks. I teach mainly at the IUT, and also at the UF d’Informatique and at the ENSEIRB.

Main professional duties:

  • Head of the Distributed Computing group at LaBRI (12 faculty members)
  • Member of the 27th section (computer science) of the French CNU (2019-2022).
  • Head of the TEMPOGRAL ANR Project (2022-2027).
  • Editorial board member of Theoretical Computer Science (Track A)
