Bio/CV
Daniel Balouek-Thomert is a Research Associate at the Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
His research interests fall in the broad area of parallel and distributed computing and include Cloud computing, Energy Efficiency, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning applications. His current research addresses the control and advances usages of Edge computing systems, with a particular interest in the orchestration of analytics with regards to the content of the data, cost of computations, and urgency of the results.
Daniel has been teaching Introductory computer science (CS111) and Principles of data management (CS336) at Rutgers University, NJ. He also taught courses in the area of parallel and distributed systems, databases, and project management at the University of Lyon, France.
Daniel has been part of the program committee of IEEE CCGRID, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE Big Data, and HPBench. He also acted as a Program Committee Chair for IEEE InterCloud-HPC 2019.
He received his Master’s degrees from both Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) and Télécom ParisTech and a Ph.D. degree from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (France). Before joining Rutgers, he was Research & Development Engineer at NewGeneration SR (Paris, France), an Engineer at Inria (Lyon, France), and a research intern at National Institute Informatics (Tokyo, Japan).
