Dr. Nicolas GAUD received his PHD in Computer Science from the University of Technology of Belfort-Montébliard (UTBM) in 2007. In 2005, he received his engineering degree in computer science from the UTBM and a MSc in Computer Science, Automatic and Manufacturing Systems from the University of Franche-Comté (UFC).
He is now Associate Professor at the UTBM and full researcher at the “Connaissance and Intelligence Artificielle Distribués” (CIAD) research laboratory.
Between 2018 and 2019, he was Technical Director and Co-founder of the Wethic Startup dealing with the certification of online consumer reviews, a certification body accredited by the COFRAC.
In 2021, he obtains an accreditation to supervise researches (French “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches”) from the University of Haute Alsace. The title is of his dissertation is “Agent-oriented software engineering and tools for multi-agent simulation.” He is one of the contributors to the ASPECS methodoloy and its CRIO metamodel, to the SARL agent-programming langage, and to the Janus agent platform.
Since January 2021, he is the head of the Energy and IT department of the University of Technology of Belfort-Montébliard.
