Etienne Rivière’s personal web corner

I have been a professor of Computer Science at UCLouvain since September 2017. Before joining UCLouvain, I was a lecturer at Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland since 2011. I obtained my PhD in 2007 from Inria/University of Rennes under the guidance of Prof. Anne-Marie Kermarrec. I was an ERCIM Alain Bensoussan fellow at NTNU Trondheim and University of Neuchâtel (UniNE) in 2008-2009

I am a member of the Louvain School of Engineering (EPL). I lead the Cloud and Large-Scale Computing group, part of the ICTEAM research institute and its INGI (Computer Science) department, which I also currently co-chair.

My research activities and publications are detailed in the research section of this website.
