Bio

Dr Thierry Ernst holds a PhD in networking from University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, obtained in October 2001 and performed within the PLANETE project-team at INRIA in association with Motorola Labs. He is internationally recognized in the field of IPv6 mobility particularly in the « Network Mobility » (NEMO) research topic he launched. During his 4-year long non-tenure researcher position at Keio University, Japan, he founded and chaired the Nautilus6 working group within the WIDE organization, and the NEMO and MonAmi6 working groups within the IETF. His research work on IPv6 mobility has then led him to focus on Cooperative ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems or C-ITS). Back to France in 2006, he has then taken the leadership of a 5-6 person strong research and development group specialized in IPv6 communications for Cooperative ITS within LaRA (La Route Automatique – The automated road), a Joint-Research Unit between INRIA (IMARA project-team) and Mines ParisTech (CAOR robotic lab). As such, he has setup and ensured the technical coordination of the FP7 GeoNet project which aimed at specifying and developing the IPv6 multicast distribution of messages to vehicles located in a geographic area (IPv6 GeoNetworking). He is now coordinating the recently started FP7 ITSSv6 project (IPv6 stack for ITS stations) and is involved in Field Operational Tests of Cooperative ITS (FP7 DRIVE-C2X and SCOREF in France). He is also heavily involved in Cooperative ITS standardization activities (ITS station reference architecture set of standards) at ISO TC204 (CALM), CEN TC278 WG16 / ISO TC204 WG18 (Cooperative ITS) and ETSI TC ITS and is member of the French national delegation in these groups. He is currently serving as co-chair of ETSI TC ITS WG3.
