Mvondo Djob

I am an associate professor at the University of Rennes, France. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the ICSA laboratory of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, working with Antonio Barbalace. I recently obtained my Ph.D. in computer science at the LIG laboratory of the University of Grenoble Alpes, France, under the supervision of Prof. Noel De Palma and Prof. Alain Tchana. My research interests include virtualization, cloud computing , and operating systems. Check out my CV.

Currently looking for M2 students for 6 months internships and Ph.D. students (3-year contract) for one of these projects: CXLHUB , SCHEDFAST , LiNetStack, FastFaaS , FastSync . Feel free to get in touch with me if interested.
