Research Experience
Currently a Senior Research Director at Inria (since September 2023) and a Professor at the University of Rennes (ENSSAT). Formerly led the Taran project-team shared by Inria and IRISA, and was the head of the 'Computer Architecture' department of IRISA (2010-2019). Held an Inria Research Chair on Energy-Efficient Computing Architectures (September 2017 to August 2023), and before that was a Senior Research Scientist at Inria (September 2012 to August 2017).
Background
Research interests lie in the area of computer architectures, computer arithmetic, embedded systems, and signal processing, with a focus on system-level design, energy-efficient hardware accelerators (especially for machine learning and data mining), approximate computing (reduced-precision arithmetic, numerical accuracy analysis), and fault tolerance. Has also previously worked on power management for energy harvesting sensor networks, signal processing for communications systems, and low-power wireless (body) sensor networks.
