- HPC expert for the European Commission in the Enhanced Regional EU-ASEAN Dialogue Instrument (E-READI) program.
- Active as general chair, track chair or as scientific committee member for various reference conferences and technical workgroups within my area of expertise (IEEE CloudCom, CloudNet, IPDPS, EuroPar, Big Data Congress, Optim, PCGrid, ICPADS, HPCS, CLUS, J. Supercomputing, J. of Parallel and Distributed Computing etc.).
- Involved in several technical workgroups (Grid5000, national ICT standardization delegate within ISO/TC 307: Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies etc.) and act as Principal Investigator or as Work Package leader in various national or EU projects.
- Recipient of a full Autorisation à Diriger des Recherches (ADR).
- Involved in the supervision of several graduate students at all levels (postdocs, PhD., master and bachelor)
- Concrete contributions in several strategic projects linked to HPC and Big Data (BD) developed with multiple key decision makers in the Luxembourg context, either from the private sector or at the governmental level

Main Research Interest
- Security and Performance Evaluation of Distributed Computing Platforms and Services (clusters, grids, HPC, clouds and P2P systems).
- Crash/Cheating Fault tolerance in parallel computation
- (more recently) Blockchain-based integrity protection in distributed executions
Up to now, I co-authored four books and more than nine book chapters in Computer Science. I also wrote about 80 research or popularization articles in scientific journals, or international conference proceedings.
A complete list of my publications is available in my CV or on Orbilu. You might also want to check my records on Google Scholar or DBLP.
Teaching
Below are the list of topics in which I used to be involved as lecturer:
- Cryptology (Bachelor and Master Level)
- Advanced Programming (C,C++) (Bachelor)
- Security and System Administration (Master)
