Loïc Guégan

Loïc Guégan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Informatics at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Technology. His work is centered on energy-efficient cyber-physical systems and distributed computing, particularly in extreme and constrained environments such as the Arctic.

His research focuses on cyber-physical systems (CPS), distributed data dissemination, IoT and edge computing, and energy-efficient protocols. He actively contributes to the development of the Distributed Arctic Observatory (DAO) project and has designed tools like the ESDS simulator for evaluating distributed systems in challenging conditions. His technical work includes power monitoring using single-board computers and the design of the LoRaLitE protocol for low-energy wireless communication.

The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in data dissemination strategies, simulation frameworks, and energy optimization for IoT and edge systems deployed in remote, resource-limited settings. These studies often leverage real-world Arctic deployments and epidemic-style algorithms to ensure robustness and scalability.

Loïc is a member of the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) research group and contributes to projects including The IoT-to-Extreme-Edge Infrastructure and Sustainable Distributed Systems for Sustainable Research and Education. He teaches courses such as Parallel Programming and Operating Systems. His research is supported through institutional and project-based funding, though specific grants are not detailed in the text.
