Petr Kuznetsov

Petr Kuznetsov is a Professor at Telecom Paris (Institut Polytechnique de Paris), affiliated with the Department of Computer Science and Networks (INFRES). He leads the Autonomous Critical Embedded Systems (ACES) research team at the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory (LTCI). His work bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications in distributed systems.

Research Focus: Kuznetsov specializes in distributed algorithms, synchronization protocols, failure detection mechanisms, and the application of algebraic topology to distributed computing. His recent work explores Byzantine fault tolerance, blockchain consensus, and concurrency in networking infrastructures.

Recent Publication Trends (2015-2025): His articles predominantly focus on scalability and resilience in distributed systems, with emerging themes in blockchain technologies, Byzantine fault tolerance, and concurrency optimization. Theoretical contributions include computability theorems and complexity bounds, while applied work targets payment systems and distributed ledgers.

Awards & Honors:

• Best Paper Award at DISC 2019 for Scalable Byzantine Reliable Broadcast
• Best Student Paper Award at PODC 2018 for An Asynchronous Computability Theorem for Fair Adversaries

Projects & Advising: He directs the TrustShare Innovation Chair (large-scale data synchronization) and DISCMAT (mathematical foundations of distributed computing). Actively seeks PhD candidates for projects on distributed algorithms and concurrency.

Laboratory & Teams: Heads the ACES team at LTCI, focusing on critical embedded systems and fault-tolerant distributed architectures. Collaborates internationally through workshops like SPTDC.
