Keywords : System level architecture, Security & Cryptographic architectures & applications, Non-Volatile Computing (MRAM)

I obtained respectively my Master and PhD degree in 1993 and 1996 from the University of Montpellier 2. From 1996 to 1997 I was in ATMEL company as IP core methodology R&D engineer. From 1997 to 200 I was assistant professor at the University of Montpellier 2, Polytech'Montpellier (Microelectronic design) and LIRMM laboratory. Since 2004 I am full Professor and was at the head of the Microelectronic dpt of the LIRMM from 2007 to 2010. I am now deputy head of Polytech'Montpellier (engineering school of Montpellier) in charge of research and industrial relationship. My research interests and skills concern system level architecture, with a specific focus in the security and cryptographic applications and Non-Volatile Computing based on MRAM. I lead several European, national and industrial projects in this field. I am involved in different major conference as DATE, VLSI, FPL, ISVLSI, DAC and is (co)author of  more than 30 journal papers and 150 conference publications and 7 patents.
