Starting in september 2025, I’m an Associate Professor in Bordeaux University in the Bordeaux University Technical Institute, doing research at the LaBRI in the NES team.

Where I come from

Before (2018-2025), I was an Associate Professor in Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in the Business Informatics Department MIAGE, where I was head of the Business Informatics Masters’ S2I at MIAGE Sorbonne for Université Paris 1, doing research at the Centre de Recherche en Informatique (CRI) lab.

Even before (2017-2018), I was a PostDoc in Distributed Systems in the ERODS team of CNRS/LIG lab in Grenoble, France. I received my PhD in Computer Science from Bordeaux University in November 2017, where I was a graduate teaching assistant at ENSEIRB-MATMECA Bordeaux INP (2014-2017). I was a visiting student at the University College Dublin, Ireland, in the Performance Engineering Lab (2017).

In ancient times, I worked as an R&D Engineer, Team and Project manager for 10 years in the software industry (2004-2014), holding a M.Eng (Math) from INSA Rouen, France, and a M.Econ from Aix-Marseille School of Economics.

Current Activities

My current research interests are:

• Trust and Sustainability for Information Systems (new research line started in 2023, with two PhD students)
• Blockchain For Information Systems (my main research line at Université Paris 1 2018-2025; with two PhD students I still maintain some research activities in this area)
• Communication Networks Softwarization (my PhD topic from 2014-2017; I still maintain some research activities and industrial collaborations in this area)

I’m always looking for opportunities to contribute to a project, volunteer for a good cause, or collaborate on a scientific article. Feel free to contact me: nicolas.herbaut [at] u-bordeaux.fr.
