Research activities
I am mainly interested in algorithm design and scheduling techniques for large-scale distributed platforms. Here are some recent work topics:

Algorithms for heterogeneous clusters and grid platforms
Multi-criteria scheduling for (pipelined) workflows
Linear algebra kernels on multicores
Fault-tolerant algorithms, resilience
Stochastic scheduling
...
