Camille Sophie BrèsProf. Camille-Sophie Brès est Professeur Associé dans l'Institut de Genie Electrique a l'EPFL. Ses recherches incluent les communications par fibre optique, et les effets paramétriques et nonlineaires dans fibre silice/non-silice pour le traitement ultra-rapide de signaux, résaux tout optique, sensing et source de lumière. Elle est auteur de plus de trente articles dans des revues arbitrées et a participé a de nombreuses conférences internationales. Elle a reçu le Gordon Wu Fellowship pour ses études de thèse, le NSF CIANs Diversity Postdoctoral Fellowship en 2009, le Early Career Woman in Photonic Award en 2016. 2019 - present: Professeur associé à l'Institut de Génie Electrique, EPFL2011 - 2018: Professeur assistant à l'Institut de Génie Electrique, EPFL 2010 - 2011: Assistant Project Scientist, University of California San Diego (UCSD) 2007 - 2010: Postdoc, University of California San Diego (UCSD) 2002 - 2007: Ph.D en Génie Electrique, Princeton University 1998 - 2002: B.Eng avec Honeur en Génie Electrique, McGill University
Willy ZwaenepoelWilly Zwaenepoel received his B.S. from the University of Gent, Belgium in 1979, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1980 and 1984, respectively. In September 2002, he joined EPFL. He was Dean of the School of Computer and Communications Sciences at EPFL from 2002 to 2011. Before joining EPFL, Willy Zwaenepoel was on the faculty at Rice University, where he was the Karl F. Hasselmann Professor of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.
He was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 1998, and Fellow of the ACM in 2000. In 2000 he received the Rice University Graduate Student Association Teaching and Mentoring Award. In 2007 he received the IEEE Tsutomu Kanai award. He was elected to the European Academy in 2009. He won best paper awards at SigComm 1984, OSDI 1999, Usenix 2000, Usenix 2006 and Eurosys 2007. He was program chair of OSDI in 1996 and Eurosys in 2006, and general chair of Mobisys in 2004. He was also an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems from 1998 to 2002.
Willy Zwaenepoel has worked in a variety of aspects of operating and distributed systems, including microkernels, fault tolerance, parallel scientific computing on clusters of workstations, clusters for web services, mobile computing, database replication and virtualization. He is most well known for his work on the Treadmarks distributed shared memory system, which was licensed to Intel and became the basis for Intels OpenMP cluster product. His work on high-performance software for network I/O led to the creation of iMimic Networking, Inc, which he led from 2000 to 2005. His current interests include large-scale data stores and software testing. Most recently, his work in software testing led to the creation of BugBuster, a startup based in Lausanne.
Christian GaumierChristian Gaumier received his Ph.D. from EPFL in 1995. His doctoral research focused on modelling the propagation of signals over singlemode fibres in both linear and nonlinear regimes. His research area includes dispersion compensation techniques, measurement techniques for fiber optics and dimensioning and performance analysis of core photonic communication networks. He participated to several European joint projects and is author and co-author of more than 50 publications in conferences, journals and books.
Dr. Gaumier is member of Communication Society of IEEE.
