Biographical Data

Brigitte Plateau received a Master in Applied Mathematics from the University of Paris 6 in 1976, a "Thèse de Troisième Cycle" in Computer Science from the University of Paris 11 in 1980, and a "Thèse d'Etat" in Computer Science from the University of Paris 11 in 1984.
She was researcher at CNRS (France) from 1981 to 1985, Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Maryland from 1985 to 1987. She currently holds a position of Professor at the engineering school Grenoble INP - Ensimag.
She has created and was director of the research lab. LIG (Laboratoire d'informatique de Grenoble) (2007-2010) and director the Engineering school Grenoble INP – Ensimag (2010-2012).
She has been President of Grenoble Institute of Technology since March 1012.
Her research interests include modelling and performance evaluation of parallel and distributed computer systems, numerical solution and simulation of large Markov models.
