Maria Potop-Butucaru has been a full professor at the Sorbonne University since 2012, and she has led the Network and Performance Analysis team in LIP6 laboratory since 2018. She received her BSc in Computer Science in 1996 from University Al. I Cuza, Iasi, Romania, and her MSc in 1997 jointly from University Al. I Cuza and Paris XI University, Orsay, France. She received her Ph D in 2000 from Paris XI University, France. She was Associate Professor in University Rennes 1 from 2001 to 2006, then Associate Professor at Sorbonne University (former Pierre and Marie Curie University) from 2006 to 2011. Her research interests are distributed systems resilient to multi faults and attacks (crash, Byzantine, transient, etc.). She is interested in self* (self-organizing, selfhealing, and self-stabilizing) and secure static and dynamic distributed systems (e.g., blockchains, peer-to-peer networks, sensors, and robot networks). She focuses in particular on the conception and proof of dependable distributed algorithms for fundamental distributed computing problems: communication primitives (e.g., broadcast, converge-cast, etc.), self* overlays (various spanning trees, P2P overlays, etc.), coherence and resource allocation problems (storage, mutual exclusion, etc.), consensus or leader election. She is editor of blockchain-related special issues of Annals of Telecommunications and Theoretical Computer Science. She served as PC member, chair, or general chair for several venues in distributed computing SSS, OPODIS, DISC, PODC, etc. She was deputy director of the Computer Science Master School in Sorbonne University.
