Stéphane Rubini received the graduate degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Brest (ENIB), in 1991, and the PhD degree in computer science from the University of Rennes I, in 1995. Currently, he is an associate professor of computer science with the Department of Computer Science, University of Brest, France. He is part of the Lab-STICC Laboratory. His research interests comprise the design of dedicated computer architectures on reconfigurable hardware targets, and most generally the matching between software algorithms and hardware. He has contributed to the hardware/software development of several processing machines for filtering genomic banks. He is currently working on the modeling and exploitation of complex memory architectures in the context of embedded systems.
