I am currently a member of the College of Computing at UM6P as an Associate Professor and heading the Toubkal Supercomputer. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Toulouse on distributed data synchronization protocol. After completing my doctorate, in 2009 I joined the University of Passau as a postdoctoral fellow, where I obtained my habilitation in 2019. Then, I was appointed as professor in the department of computer science both at the University of Passau and Clausthal University of Technology.
I have more than 15 years of experience in the fields of teaching, research and development tackling methodologies and concepts of computer science both from classical and quantum computing perspectives. My main research interests are (1) modeling of performance-energy trade-off for HPC data centers using queuing theory methodology, (2) ML-based prediction modeling using peer-to-peer approach (use case of smart thermostats), (3) statistical and AI-based modeling for the percentage of renewables, (4) modeling, designing and optimizing quantum circuits (e.g. QRAM, arithmetic) using queuing theory, and (5) variational quantum algorithm design and quantum machine learning for renewable energy sources.
I have more than 60 scientific publications in the fields of sustainable, green and quantum computing. One of my scientific works received the
best paper award at IEEE SustainIT 2012 conference. I was a scientific and technical contributor to EU FP7 FIT4Green and ALL4Green projects related to demand-response in data centers as well as technical coordinator of H2020 Electrific project. I am currently scientifically collaborating with the DARPA project “Quantifying Utility of Quantum Computers” (USA) coordinated by Rigetti in designing quantum decoder circuits using classical queuing theory.
