Since
september 2008, Fabrice Valois is full professor in
INSA Lyon,
where he was associate professor from
2000 to 2008. In january 2000, he received a Ph.D. in computer science
about Performance Evaluation of
Hierarchical Cellular Networks from University of
Versailles. In november 2007, he received the Habilitation
à Diriger des Recherches from University of Lyon I and INSA
Lyon about Self-organisation
of
wireless multi-hop networks. From september 2018 to
august 2019, he was a researcher/temporary assigment (aka
délégation in French...) at Inria
to work on dense and dynamic wireless networks.
He
gives
courses mainly about wireless networks (e.g.
Wi-Fi, wireless sensor networks), cellular networks (e.g.
2G, 3G, 4G) and networking (e.g.
TCP/IP, LAN, mobility management, routing protocols) in the Telecommunications
department. He also gave courses on autonomic networking, and on
performance evaluation tools applied to networking and
telecommunications (e.g.
Markov chains,
queueing theory, simulation tools).
Co-founder
and former director of the CITI
research
laboratory, Fabrice Valois is now a member of the Agora
Inria
research team. His research interests are in the area of dynamic,
dense and autonomous wireless networks (e.g. networks for IoT, wireless
sensor networks, wireless mobile ad hoc networks). More particularly,
his research works are focused on networking protocols design and
performance evaluation. He is co-author of 3 chapter books, 110+
international publications and he holds 4 international patents.
