About
Anatole Lefort is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Systems Research Group of the Technical University of Munich, hosted by Prof. Pramod Bhatotia. His current research focuses on CXL-based disaggregated memory systems for heterogeneous compute architectures.
Dr. Lefort's educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Computer Science from Institut Polytechnique de Paris (2023), advised by Pierre Sutra and Gaël Thomas.
- Diplôme d’Ingénieur (M.S. Eng.) from Télécom SudParis (2018), where he graduated first in his class.
His research interests encompass Distributed Systems, Distributed Computing, Persistent Memory, Concurrency, Language Runtimes, and Cloud Infrastructures. During his doctoral studies, he investigated persistent memory programming, particularly for managed languages like Java, addressing challenges in memory management and concurrency.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on persistent memory systems, with contributions such as J-NVM for off-heap persistent objects in Java and the WB-amcast protocol for fault-tolerant atomic multicast, reflecting expertise in both systems and distributed algorithms.
Dr. Lefort has been recognized with several awards:
- Laureate of Engineers of the Future Awards, Engineers for Research category (December 2022).
- Best student publication in ICTs at Institut Polytechnique de Paris (September 2022).
He has not advised any students to date. His funding includes an NVMW Student Travel Grant for the 2022 workshop and a Fully-Funded Ph.D. Scholarship from Institut Mines-Télécom awarded in 2018 based on academic excellence.
Currently, Dr. Lefort is part of the Systems Research Group at TUM. Previously, he was a member of the Parallel and Distributed Systems Group at Télécom SudParis during his Ph.D. studies.
