I'm permanent researcher, working at Inria, a French public research institute. Member of the Privatics Inria research team that focuses on privacy since its creation, in 2013, I am since end 2019 the team leader. Before that, in 2000-2012, I was member of the Planete Inria research team whose goal was to carry out research in the context of protocol and applications for the Internet. I also spent three years, in 1997-2000, working as an Associate Professor in the Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris 6), in the Network and Performances group.
My main research topics are on privacy considerations.
I focuss in particular on the privacy risks associated to the use of smartphones, Internet of Things devices, and Web browsers.
I'm also co-author, with PRIVATICS colleagues, of the ROBERT and CLEA protocols that were the foundations of the contact tracing and presence tracing features of the French TousAntiCovid app in 2020-2022.
I am now the PRIVATICS team leader.
Before that, I've spent a lot of time working on robust content distribution techniques, and more precisely on transport protocols (e.g. FLUTE/ALC, FECFRAME) and forward erasure correction (FEC) codes (e.g. LDPC-Staircase, GLDPC codes).
I was also
largely involved in IETF standardisation activities
and led with M.J. Montpetit the
"Coding for efficient Network Communciations" NWCRG research group of IRTF.
