Short biography

Since september 2008, Fabrice Valois is professor in INSA-Lyon where he was associate professor between 2000 and 2008. In january 2000, he obtained a Ph.D. in computer sciences about Performance Evaluation of Hierarchical Cellular Networks from University of Versailles. In november 2007, he obtained the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches from University of Lyon I and INSA-Lyon about Self-organisation of multi-hop wireless networks.

He gives courses mainly on wireless networks (cellular networks, Wi-fi, mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, ...) and networking (mobility management, routing protocols, ...) in the Telecommunications department. He also gives courses on performance evaluation tools (Markov chains, queueing theory, simulation tools, etc.). Others courses are given in the Master of Sciences MASTria about i) fundamentals tools for performance evaluation of networks and ii) autonomic networking.

Fabrice Valois is also a member of the CITI laboratory and he is involved in the SWING INRIA research team. He is the leader of the networking group. His research interests are in the area of mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks and wireless mesh networks. More particularly, his research works are focused on self-organisation, self-configuration, ... self-* generally speaking. He works also on MAC protocols, (zero control)-routing protocols for MANET and WSN. He has also interests about performance analysis of MAC layer for MANET using a Markov Process Algebra (PEPA) and simulation tools.
