General Information
Bio
I graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in 2007 and from Ecole des Mines de Paris in 2008 ("ingenieur X-Mines" in French educational system). I defended a Montpellier 2 University
Ph.D thesis on November 2011, after spending my three-year doctoral program at AIST in Tsukuba (thesis committee: Prof. B. Espiau, INRIA
(chair); Profs. J.-C. Latombe, Stanford University and J.-P. Laumond,
CNRS (reviewers); Profs. A. Crosnier, Montpellier 2 University, and H.
Hirukawa, AIST Japan (examiners); and Prof. A. Kheddar, CNRS (advisor)).
