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.

My research interests are around resource optimization in data centres, functional programming and constraint programming.

I am part of these EU FP7/H2020 projects:

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.

I am the main author and maintainer of the following softwares:

Nomyx: A unique game where YOU can change the rules
Waziup: An IoT and Big Data platform for remote areas
Plug4Green: A Virtual Machine manager able to save 20% of energy in data centres
EASC: An application controler allowing to use more renewable energies in data centres

Accelerate all the things! – April 20, 2018
We are all gathering in Kampala, Uganda to launch our new project: WAZIHUB! This project follows WAZIUP (don’t mix them!). We will “accelerate” all the ideas and technologies developped in the previous project. This means lauching many startups using IoT technologies in Africa!
CloudCom – December 16, 2016
I participated in CloudCom conference. We presented a demo called “PaaS4IoT”: a neat prototype combining Cloud, IoT and edge computing!
Doctor! – April 28, 2016
Just finished the exam for PhD award today! Several years of work reaching to an end… You can find the complete thesis here, and the talk slides here.
