Samson LASAULCE is a CNRS Director of Research in the Laboratory of Signals and Systems (joint lab between CNRS, CentraleSupélec, and Univ. Paris Sud). He has also been a professor with the Department of Physics at Ecole Polytechnique. Before joining CNRS he has been working for five years in private R&D companies (Motorola Labs and Orange Labs). Dr. Lasaulce is the recipient of several awards including the 2016 Blondel Medal award from SEE. Dr. Lasaulce has been serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. His current research interests lie in distributed networks with a focus on game theory, distributed optimization, optimal control, network information theory, learning, for wireless communications and energy networks. He is a co-author of the book “Game Theory and Learning for Wireless Networks: Fundamentals and Applications”

Faculty researchers

Christophe BIDAN is a doctor in Computer Sciences (University of Rennes 1, 1998). He holds an HDR from the University of Rennes 1 (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, 2010). Since 2000, Christophe BIDAN is a professor at Supélec and permanent member of the INRIA / Supélec project-team CIDre (see also here). Before joining Supélec, Christophe BIDAN spent a one-year postdoct at Imperial College, London. He also worked for Gemplus (now Gemalto) as a security architect in the cryptography and security team.
His research area is security of information systems. He is particularly interested in intrusion detection and privacy of self-organized networks (ad hoc, P2P) and Web applications. He also manages research on privacy in social networks, and visualization of security events. He is author or co-author of more than thirty national and international communications (see Google Scholar). To date, he has supervised six PhD students.
