Jean-François Baffier is a senior researcher at Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ). In his role as a researcher, he contributes to society through fundamental research in computer science supplemented by open-source libraries and software.
Jean-François received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo after graduating from the Master course at the University Paris-Sud. He was a member of the ERATO Kawarabayashi Large Project in Tokyo and Sendai, a JSPS-CNRS research fellow hosted at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan), and a postdoctoral researcher at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP). From October 2011 to August 2018, he was a member of the JFLI.
His newest research project aims to develop a semi-automated optimization framework that eliminates the tradeoff between ease of modeling and solving efficiency. Furthermore, he is working on the analysis of information networks, smart compression for high-scalability data structures, and explainable artificial intelligence. Other topics of interest include modeling failures and routing in networks, game analysis, and AI for games.
