Gwendal Simon received his Master Degree in Computer Science in 2000 and his PhD degree in Computer Science in December 2004 after three years at both France Telecom R&D and IRISA. During his PhD, he conceived and developed the Solipsis system -- a distributed shared virtual world -- which has received a worldwide attention, including innovation prize, and has turned out to be a successful start-up.
Then, he had worked as a researcher at France Telecom R&D for almost two years. He has focused on innovation processes and peer-to-peer systems, in particular he initiated an innovative collaboration with local start-ups, resulting in the building of a co-working place.
Since September 2006, he is Associate Professor at Telecom Bretagne, a graduate engineering school within the Institut Telecom where his main mission is to raise research activities on autonomous networks. He has published more than twenty papers in renowned international journals and conferences, and he has contributed to more than ten collaborative research projects.
Keywords: Large-scale and spontaneous distributed networks (peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks), operational research
