Since september 2006, I'm an associate professor (maître de conférences) at the IUT (Institut Universitaire de Technologie) of Lannion (University of Rennes I) and a member of the IRISA Lab (Institut de Recherche en Informatique et Systèmes Aléatoires), Networks, Telecommunication and Services department (D2).

From 2005 to 2006, I was a member of the RAM team (Réseaux et Applications Multimédias : networks and multimedia applications) in the LIA Laboratory (Laboratoire Informatique d'Avignon : Computer science lab of Avignon in France). In addition to my research activities that I did in the LIA Lab, I taught at the Avignon University for the students of the RTM (Réseaux, Télécoms et Multimédia : networks, telecom and multimedia), TAIM (Traitement Automatique de l'Information Multimédia : automatic processing of multimedia information) and the Licence GIM (Génie Informatique et Mathématiques : computer science and mathematics) fields. Also, I supervised some projects that I have proposed on mobile computing for the Master students.

I was a member of the WAM (Web, Adaptation and Multimedia) team at the National Research Institute in Computer Science and Control (INRIA Rhône-Alpes, Grenoble, France) from 2002 to 2005. I followed a post-doctoral position in the WAM team and do research in: content adaptation and negotiation, Web and XML technologies and standards, mobile and heterogeneous networks and related topics. I was a member of the Opera team in INRIA from 2001 to 2002 and a member of the Device Independence working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) from 2003 to 2005.

My work is centred around the objective of using, accessing and controlling information and services Anywhere Anyhow Anytime (ideally: anywhat, anywhere, anyhow and anytime). This implies to work on the following themes: context awareness in networks, pervasive and mobile computing, content and services negotiation, protocols and Web standards, applications, multimedia, network architectures and standards, content and multimedia services handling and adaptation for heterogeneous environments. I've had to study and work in other areas such as mobile and ad-hoc protocols, media encoding and transcoding, etc. During my work as a scientific researcher and software developer, I participated in many international conferences and workshops as author and program committee member (read more). I produced several software applications and publications (scientific, academic, technical and industrial) and participated in many national and international projects.

I hold a Ph.D. in computer science : system and software, from the INPG institute (Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France), graduated 2004. My dissertation was in the area of content negotiation and adaptation architectures for heterogeneous environments. Also, I hold a Master (DEA) degree equivalence from the INPG institute (2001) and a Computer Science Engineer degree from the USTHB university (1999). My master dissertation discusses routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks. My computer science engineer dissertation was in the area of the atomic validation of transactions in distributed systems.

From 1999 to 2000, I taught the course of Computer Science Management at the USTHB university for third year Computer Science Engineers. In 2005, I hold my Associate Professor Qualification in computer science (27th section).
