Bio

I obtained a Master Degree and PhD Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Montpellier, France, in 2001 and 2004 respectively. Then, I joined the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany where I have worked as a scientific assistant. Since September 2005, I am a permanent Associate Professor at the University of Montpellier 2. I teach the design and programming of embedded systems (VHDL, C, C++, CAD Tools) at the « Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Montpellier » and perform my research activities at the LIRMM, the Montpellier Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics, and Microelectronics which is a cross-faculty research entity of the University of Montpellier 2 (UM2) and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) – Department of Information and Engineering Sciences and Technologies (IEST). I am involved in several national (ANR) projects (ADAM, Secresoc) and european projects (ENIAC MODERN). Currently, I am the national head of the CRCC (CNFM) and the manager to the industrial partnerships with the Electrical Engineering department of Polytech’Montpellier. I have contributed to the organization of several international conferences (IEEE ISVLSI 2008, IEEE SIES 2008, RCE, ReCoSoC, etc.) and was the Program Chair of IEEE RAW/IPDPS in May 2011.
