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, 95+ international publications and he holds 4
international patents.
