Currently on leave from MPI. Starting October 2011, I am joining the faculty of Telecom ParisTech (Paris Institute of Technology for Telecommunications).
I am heading the research group Distributed Data and Communities at D5 .
My research interests are more specifically:
- Distributed and centralized algorithms for social networks and data management.
- Replication in peer-to-peer systems.
- Approximation algorithms.
- Map-Reduce.
