Pascal Felber

Pascal Felber is a Full Professor at the Institute of Computer Science within the Faculty of Science at the University of Neuchâtel. His career spans significant industry experience at Oracle Corporation and Bell Labs before transitioning to academia, where he has established himself as a leading researcher in complex computing systems.

His research interests focus on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of complex computing systems, particularly reliable, distributed, concurrent, and secure systems. Felber's work addresses critical challenges in large-scale systems including cloud computing, Internet of Things, and big data technologies. His research bridges theoretical computer science with practical system implementations.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), secure computing, blockchain security, and privacy-preserving technologies. His work spans multiple domains from secure DNA alignment to phishing detection in smart contracts, demonstrating both theoretical depth and practical impact in addressing security challenges in modern distributed systems.

Professor Felber has participated as a (co-)applicant in approximately twenty research projects funded by the EU (including VELOX, SRT-15, LEADS, ParaDIME, SafeCloud, SecureCloud, EBSIS, LEGaTO, VEDLIoT) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

His teaching portfolio includes Bachelor's degree courses in French (Programming I & II, Languages and compilation, Web and network technologies, Concurrent and distributed systems) and Master's courses in English (Concurrency: Multi-core programming and data processing, Hot topics in operating systems seminar).
