local_library Current research projects
- Optimization methods for banking data analysis: development of tools combining mathematical programming approaches and learning methods for data analysis in online banking transactions.
- Energy-saving problems in Ad Hoc multi-Hop Wireless networks: mathematical programming tools for determining the minimum number of network components to keep on to ensure traffic routing, incorporating interference constraints and network coding constraints.
- Optimal placement of safety landing sites (SLS) for urban air mobility (UAM): Vertical take-off and landing vehicles (VTOL) are used to transport passengers between skyports in urban air mobility. Safety landing sites (SLS) cover VTOL trajectories for emergency landings. We are studying the optimal placement of SLS under budget, routing and safety constraints.
- Defense tools against DDoS (Distributed-Denial of Service) attacks in virtualized and centralized software defined networks (SDN): development of decision support tools for the deployment of virtual functions for security against DDoS cyber-attacks.
- Unsplittable multicommodity flow problems for networks routing optimization: polyhedral approaches to solve the combinatorial problems related to unsplittable and constrained routing in networks.
- Previous projects
- GDRRO (CNRS Operational Research Group) project: combinatorial optimization tools for network design problems, join work with Michel Minoux (LIP6) and Arnaud Knippel (LMI ENSA Rouen).
- ALOES Orange Labs Project: Design optimization tools for the management of the Orange’s backbone network under: security, reliability, routing and QoS requirements. Development of decomposition approaches, column generation and branch&price&cut algorithms. The theoretical part of the project that I developed received the research prize and the research label awarded by the “Telecom Valley Sophia-Antipolis” association.
- Marine terminal infrastructures optimization for oil marketing: developments of software to optimize the behavior of an oil port (transport, management and marketing of hydrocarbons).
