Mickaël Bettinelli

Mickaël Bettinelli serves as an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department of the University Institutes of Technology at Université Savoie Mont Blanc, affiliated with the LISTIC laboratory. Previously, he held a postdoctoral position at the University of Oulu's Center for Ubiquitous Computing (EU Horizon 2020 Fractal project) and completed his PhD at University Grenoble Alpes on collective intelligence for decision support in the IDEX-funded Circular project.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Computer Science (Distributed Artificial Intelligence), University Grenoble Alpes, 2021
• Master of Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence), 2018

Bettinelli's research centers on federated learning, distributed intelligence, and complex systems, with emphasis on collective behavior emergence and distributed system resilience. Current work applies federated learning to enhance system robustness, extending his doctoral research in multi-agent coalition formation and circular economy applications.

His 2019-2021 publications reveal a cohesive trajectory: developing agent-based coalition models (ABSG), cohesion mechanisms for system integrity, and decision frameworks for remanufacturing. These span swarm intelligence, industrial engineering, and sustainable manufacturing, demonstrating interdisciplinary rigor in multi-agent systems and distributed intelligence.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best Paper Award at Journées Francophones sur les Systèmes Multi-Agents (JFSMA) 2021
• Prix Coup de coeur at Concours Conter et Rencontrer les Sciences 2024

As an educator, he leads courses in Machine Learning, Cryptography, and IoT while developing pedagogical tools like DonatelloPyzza—a Python gridworld game for beginner programmers. His science communication extends to a French YouTube channel explaining complex CS concepts. Research is supported by EU Horizon 2020 and IDEX grants through collaborations at LISTIC laboratory and the University of Oulu's Center for Ubiquitous Computing.
