Current research activities

Research Leader

  • Since Oct 2017: Laboratoire LINEACT
    • Leading research related to new challenges of big data, smart citicies, cyber physical systems, and IoT. My objective is developing techniques based on formal methods and data mining to ensure safety and functionality of complex systems including different behavioral aspects: real time, stochastic process, etc.

Current Teaching activities

Associate Professor (Engineer in Computer Science)

  • Since Oct 2017: CESI Engineering School By applying problem-based learning methodology, I am responsible of the computer science lectures of the different levels at CESI E. I. in Aix-en-Provence. Further, I take the responsibility of both options: data science and cyber security
