Short Bio
Gwendal Simon received his Master Degree in Computer Science in 2000 and his PhD degree in Computer Science in December 2004 from University of Rennes 1 (France). During his PhD, he worked at Orange R&D Labs, where he developed a distributed shared virtual world, which has received a worldwide attention, including innovation prize, and has turned out to be a start-up.
From 2004 to 2006 he was a researcher at Orange Labs, where he worked on spontaneous networks and social media innovations. Since 2006, he has been Associate Professor at Telecom Bretagne, a graduate engineering school within the Institut Telecom. He has been a visiting researcher at University of Waterloo from September 2011 to September 2012.
His research interests include large-scale distributed networks, peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks, optimization problems and video delivery systems.
Other key information
I am a teacher in a "grande école", where education matters. I am a strong advocate of "active learning", as illustrated by my involvement in project-oriented teaching, two academic papers in this area, and my contributions to Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC).
I am a reviewer, typically involved in the Program Committee of well-known conferences, including LCN 2011-2012, Globecom 2012-2013, ICC 2013, ICCCN 2012-2013, Packet Video 2012 and Netgames 2012.
