Presenter

I am an Associate Professor at INSA Rennes and a researcher within the KerData team at IRISA Rennes. In 2011, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Politehnica University of Bucharest (PUB), under the supervision of Valentin Cristea (PUB) and Iosif Legrand (California Institute of Technology). The Ph.D. thesis focused on self-adaptive behavior of large-scale distributed systems based on monitoring information, bringing several contributions to the MonALISA monitoring system, developed in collaboration with Caltech and CERN. After the Ph.D., I joined Inria as a postdoctoral researcher within the KerData team, working with Gabriel Antoniu and Luc Bougé, on scalable storage in cloud environments. In 2012, I became an Associate Professor at INSA Rennes, where I am currently leading the Data Science track. My research interests include efficient support for AI (Federated Learning in particular) execution on large scale infrastructures, reproducibility and Big Data management on the Computing Continuum (clouds, fog, edge), stream processing and workflow data management. I published one book, more than 20 articles in international journals and 30 papers in international conferences. I serve as PC member of several top-level conferences and workshops in the domain of distributed computing (SuperComputing, IPDPS, EuroPar, CCGrid, Cluster, Big Data). I am the co-chair of the FlexScience workshop at HPDC (since 2015) and a member of the JLESC: Joint Laboratory on Extreme-Scale Computing.
