Introduction

I am particularly interested in the environmental footprint of Cloud computing and how system engineering can reduce it.
My current work focus on sharing mechanisms in the Cloud through scheduling and oversubscription.

Bio

I am a postdoctoral fellow at ÉTS Montréal (Canada). I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Lille (France), realized within Spirals and Stack teams from Inria (2021-2024). I received my Computer Science engineering degree in 2021 from Paris XII University (France), giving master's degree. Prior to the PhD, I spent three years working on the Mainframe security ecosystem.
