Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenoit Piranda is a Full Professor of Computer Science with over 13 years of academic experience and a research focus on distributed programming, physical and visual robot simulation, and image synthesis. He has authored more than 50 papers and leads development of VisibleSim, a scalable behavioral simulator that runs parallel code across thousands of modular robot modules while modeling communications, motion, and sensors. Based in Montbéliard and affiliated with the FEMTO-ST Institute, he blends deep theoretical contributions with large-scale simulation engineering. His career spans roles at Université de Franche-Comté and Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée and now Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, reflecting sustained leadership in robotics and distributed systems. Notably, his work emphasizes realistic physical interactions at scale, enabling experimental research that would be impractical with hardware alone. He holds a Doctorat in Computer Science and is known for turning complex distributed behaviors into reproducible, high-performance simulation platforms.
