Research Scientist
University of Luxembourg
Dr. Grégoire Danoy is a Research Scientist at the University of
Luxembourg and Head of the Parallel Computing and Optimisation
Group (PCOG). He received his Industrial Engineer degree in
Computer Science from the Luxembourg University of Applied
Sciences (IST) in 2003. He obtained his Master in Web
Intelligence in 2004 and his PhD in Computer Science in 2008
from the Ecole des Mines of Saint-Etienne, France.
Dr. Danoy’s expertise includes fundamental and applied research
as well as technology transfer activities in the field of
artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on optimisation and
machine learning. His work finds applications in various
domains, including cloud computing, high-performance computing,
smart mobility, and unmanned autonomous systems. He has
published over 150 research articles in international journals
and conferences in the field.
The team of Dr. Danoy, PCOG, conducts research in parallel
computing, search and optimisation techniques, to provide
efficient, scalable and robust solutions to state-of-the-art,
large-scale discrete/combinatorial problems. PCOG’s expertise
ranges from the design of novel exact approaches, evolutionary
algorithms and swarm intelligence, to their implementation on
massively multi-core systems (CPUs), accelerators (GPUs) and
mobile systems (e.g., drones).
