Main phases of my professional life

1994-1997: PhD in applied mathematics at IRISA.
Title: "Simulation accélérée par les méthodes de Monte Carlo et quasi-Monte Carlo : théorie et applications".
I also taught mathematics 64 hours per year.
1997-1998: On a one year position at theMathematical Institut of Rennes 1 University.
1998 to now: INRIA researcher at INRIA Rennes Bretagne-Atlantique.
1999 : sojourn of 8 months in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Duke University.

Research interests

My research domain is the performance evaluation and the dependability analysis of network models. It is then composed of a methodological and an application work. We can partition my work in the following way:

Simulation methods
- Monte Carlo methods and applications
- Quasi-Monte Carlo methods and applications
queuing analysis with application to telecommunications (DiffServ...)
Petri net modeling
Pricing the Internet
