Matthieu Perrin

Matthieu Perrin is an Associate Professor at the University of Nantes, affiliated with the GDD team at LS2N (Laboratoire des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes). He holds a PhD from the University of Nantes (2016), advised by Claude Jard and Achour Mostéfaoui. His research focuses on distributed computing, particularly message-passing systems, weak consistency models, and distributed algorithms. He has co-advised PhD students including Grégoire Bonin and supervised undergraduate projects like Damien Maussion's work on weak consistency enforcement.

Key contributions include seminal work on differentiated consistency for gossip protocols, causal broadcast algorithms, and extensions of the Herlihy wait-free hierarchy to multi-threaded systems. His publications span journals like IEEE TPDS and conferences such as EuroSys and PODC.

Perrin's work bridges theoretical foundations (e.g., consistency models) with practical implementations (e.g., state-machine replication for large-scale systems). He collaborates widely, including postdoctoral work at Technion and IMDEA Software Institute.
