Background Information
Michel Cukier received a physics engineering degree from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, in 1991, and the Doctor in engineering degree from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, France, in 1996. During 1991-1992, he was an instructor at the Free University of Brussels. From 1992 to 1996, he was at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France for his doctoral work on coverage estimation of fault-tolerant systems. From 1996 to 2001, he was a researcher in the Perform research group in the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. His research interests included intrusion tolerance by adaptation in distributed systems, adaptive fault tolerance in distributed systems, the evaluation of fault-tolerant systems combining modeling and fault injection, and the estimation of fault tolerance coverage. As part of this work, he is a co-developer of the AQuA Architecture, an architecture that provides dependable distributed objects.
His current research interests include security evaluation, intrusion tolerance, distributed system validation, fault injection, and software testing.
He is a member of the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society.
