Bruno Harbulot

I am a Research Associate at the E-Science North West centre (ESNW), University of Manchester, UK. More specifically, I am a Grid architect and Software engineer who provides support for the NanoCMOS project.
This project is about helping scientists and electronics engineers research how transistors, circuits and systems are affected by the reduction in size of transistors, as their models have to be updated to take into account new phenomena in the next generation of transistors.
Previously, I worked on the Pulsar Search project with the Jodrell Bank Observatory, as part of GridOneD.

I obtained my Ph.D. in 2006 in the Centre for Novel Computing, School of Computer Science, University of Manchester.
In 2002, I got an MSc in Advanced Computer Science from the same university.
Before that, I was a student in France at the Institut d'Informatique d'Entreprise (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), from which I graduated as an Engineer.

I work in the area of distributed computing, in particular Grid Computing, which mainly consists of distributing applications (a) to make use of computational power and data spread across multiple organisations, and (b) to foster collaboration between people that use them.
The challenges are not only about distributing data and computation, but also about securing these systems so as to make sure access within and across institutions is granted only to the people and services that are authorised. We use these principles to enable large-scale scientific simulations and collaborations.
My current area of work is about RESTful Web-Services and security.
More on these topics on my blog.

My Ph.D. thesis is entitled Separating Concerns in Scientific Software using Aspect-Oriented Programming. This was supervised by Prof. John Gurd.

Part of this is about a join point for loops. You can find more about this on the LoopsAJ page.
