I am an Associate Professor in computer science at the University of Lorraine. Before joining the University of Lorraine, I was postdoctoral researcher at the computer science department at Aalto University. Before joining Aalto University, I was member of the Database and Information Management Group (dbTrento) at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) at the University of Trento (Italy). I earned a PhD in computer science from the Laboratory of Informatics, Modeling and Optimization of Systems (LIMOS) at the Blaise Pascal University (France). My research interests span the areas of Big Data Management, Cloud Computing, Distributed Systems and Data Mining.
