Associate Professor in Computer Science
At Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, I lead the CPSA team of the LIUPPA laboratory and coordinate the second year (M2) of the SIGLIS master's programme. My research looks at distributed infrastructures shared by several parties: orchestrating their resources across the edge-cloud continuum, designing the programmable networks that connect them, and trusting the computations they run. I teach networks, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cybersecurity and embedded systems.
Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Bordeaux (2020). Previously tenured researcher at Université Gustave Eiffel.
Three research axes on shared distributed infrastructures, each combining models and algorithms with experimentation.
Allocating computing and network resources when several operators share the same infrastructure: service placement in edge federations, task offloading, sizing of edge sites. I design mechanisms, from auctions to multi-agent reinforcement learning, that meet application requirements while remaining fair to each party, with energy and carbon as additional constraints.
Software-defined networks, slicing and multi-connectivity to let several services and technologies share one network: SDN control architectures, slicing for FRMCS, hybrid 5G and satellite links. This work relies on emulators and testbeds that I develop with my colleagues, such as Emu5GNet.
Making it possible to trust participants that one does not control, from blockchain-based authentication and access control to verifiable and confidential computation today. I combine zero-knowledge proofs, trusted execution environments and secret sharing, with federated learning as the main use case.
Recent work across the three research axes.
