He holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Lille and Inria in 2014, and has worked in computer science in France and the UK, and in the private and public sector. His research activities cross the domains of software engineering and cyber-physical systems, in the context of sustainable computing & Green IT. He focuses on the design and optimization of intelligent, autonomous, adaptive, and sustainable ecosystems. His research is structured around two key axes: the adaptability of autonomous systems and software based on environmental criteria, and the integration of humans in improving environmental impacts. This involves observing, understanding and acting towards sustainability across software, hardware and human dimensions. He co-founded the Green IT Summer School in 2021 and he is co-piloting it since. |
Dr. Olivier Le Goaer is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (in french), an institution actively committed to the ecological transition. Holder of a PhD obtained from the University of Nantes in 2009, he leads the software engineering team at the computer science laboratory. His research focuses on Green Software Engineering. He is the main creator of several tools for software practitioners, including Creedengo (formerly ecoCode), Green CodeQL, and PowDroid. He is a co-founder and co-chair of the Green IT Summer School since its creation in 2021. He also co-chairs the Green Code Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting green coding. | |
