Description
Tristan Allard is a maître de conférences (close to associate professor) since September 2014 at Univ Rennes, IRISA. He defended his habilitation à diriger les recherches thesis (HDR for short) in April 2024 about contributions to privacy-preserving data intensive systems. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Inria Zenith team in Montpellier. He conducted his Ph.D. thesis in Computer Science in the Inria SMIS team and received it from the University of Versailles in December 2011.
The volume, variety, and velocity of digital personal data are increasing at a fast pace. Enabling both daily uses and large-scale analysis of personal data while preserving individuals' privacy is a key challenge in building a knowledge society. His research interests lie within this wide field. He is particularly interested in the combination of differential privacy with cryptography (privacy-preserving data querying, privacy-preserving crowdsourcing, privacy-preserving data mining) and has been diverted a few years ago by the study of browser fingerprints for web authentication.
