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).
