Antoine Dailly

I am a junior researcher at INRAE, at the TSCF research unit, in Clermont-Ferrand (France). Within the unit, I work on the topics of IoT for sober observation of the environment and autonomy et automation of equipment.

My research focuses on graph algorithms, optimisation in sensor networks, and representation of time and uncertainty in graphs. I also work on games from an algorithmic point of view. For more details, check the Research and Publications tabs.

Open positions for PhD, postdoc and Masters' internship

To appear :

  • A PhD position (optimisation of environmental sensors deployment) with maybe a preliminary Masters' internship.
  • A postdoc position (data collection in dynamic environment).
  • A Masters' internship preliminary to an application to an MSCA PhD (modelisation and planning for a fleet of autonomous agricultural robots).

  • You may contact me for more details.

    Upcoming events

    We are organizing the 2026 edition of IWOCA (conference June 8-11, collaborative workshop June 11-12).

    Scientific popularization

    I am a member of the ISO (Informatique Sans Ordinateur; Computer Science Without Computers) group of Clermont-Ferrand; we are creating activities for middle and high schoolers as well as general audiences. The goal is to explore, in a ludic manner, important concepts in computer science: algorithms, cryptography, optimisation, etc. We are active with classes and in various events.

    During my PhD and my first ATER, I was a member of the Maths à Modeler community, where we also proposed activities about theoretical computer science and mathematics.

    Teaching

    I supervised practical courses at Université Clermont Auvergne (Systems programming, XML, Mathematics tools), as well as a short course on complexity and algorithms for the doctoral school SPI.

    As an ATER at IUT2 de Grenoble, I have taught several classes on topics such as algorithmic and programming (C, Web), operating systems, graphs, and probability and statistics.

    I took part in a Computability and Complexity class at the UNAM Juriquilla, where I managed the tutorial sessions.

    As an ATER at Université Grenoble-Alpes, I supervised courses and tutorials in several classes on topics such as graph theory, operations research, compiler theory and algorithms.

    During my thesis, I taught computer science at ISFA.

    In 2015-2016, I supervised practical courses in Unix and Java programming, and courses, tutorial and practical courses in C++ programming.

    In 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, I supervised practical courses in Python and C++ programming.

    Previous positions

    Between 2022 and 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at LIMOS, under the supervision of Florent Foucaud in the ANR research project GRALMECO and the CAP 20-25 project ALGOSTRUCT-ID. I mostly worked on problems related to distance in graphs from an algorithmic viewpoint.

    In 2021-2022, I was an ATER at the IUT2 of Grenoble, doing my research with the Optimisation Combinatoire team of the G-SCOP laboratory.

    Between 2019 and 2021, I was a postdoctoral student at the Institute of Mathematics of the UNAM Juriquilla. I worked under the supervision of Adriana Hansberg on the topic of balanceability.

    In 2018-2019, I was an ATER at Université Grenoble Alpes working with the OC team at G-SCOP.

    Between 2015 and 2018, I was a PhD student at Université de Lyon (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) working with the GOAL team at LIRIS, under the direction of Hamamache Kheddouci and the supervision of Aline Parreau and Éric Duchêne.
