What am I doing?

I am a young researcher in the domain of embedded operating systems.

I have finished my PhD thesis in September 2006, under the direction of Pr. David Simplot-Ryl, Dr. Gilles Grimaud and Dr. Jean-Jacques Vandewalle. My thesis topic was the customization of Java environments for embedded and restrained devices.

Currently, I am working as an assistant professor at the Distributed and Ubiquitous Computing Laboratory of Waseda University, Japan. My research interests are embedded systems, virtualization, and monitoring.
