My research lies in the formal framework of game theory, at the crossroad between applied mathematics, computer science and economics, applied to networks. I use and develop tools of decision theory, multi-agent systems, optimisation and graph theory.
My research focuses on strategic decision making in presence of multiple decision makers (agents), often with imperfect information and system uncertainties, when agent interactions can be modeled by a graph structure.
I study in particular problems related to fair sharing of resources in telecommunications networks and distributed computer systems, paradoxical situations resulting from so-called selfish strategies (in which each agent acts according to its own interest), optimal attack/defense mechanisms in systems and strategies of influence in social networks.
In parallel to my research, I have been involved, ever since I joined Inria, in promoting and demystifying science to the general public and pupils, explain how research is conducted and knowledge is constructed, and broadly speaking, go against oversimplistic considerations of technology (being for or against mobile phone technologies for instance).
I therefore quickly got invested in popularizing my research field and gradually got administratively involved, first at the local level (Inria lab of Grenoble) then at the Inria national level, within the direction of the science department. My goal is to promote science popularization activities among scientists, organize and disseminate the institute productions and create innovative actions and ressource tools to share with colleagues. I am currently holding a Inria referent for science popularization position since 2020.
