PhD in Computer Science, Thomas is currently taking part in European project PLAY, dealing with distributed enterprise service buses (ESB). Thomas's work focuses on different models of distributed computing in the context of anonymous networks, finding solutions for problems such as leader election, enumeration/naming and distributed snapshot. He also works on ubiquitous computing and adaptive applications topics. The final goal is to provide a generalized way to conceive communication applications over heterogeneous networks.

Sarah Zribi integrated the Research Team in October 2010 as a R&D Engineer in Computer Science and a Ph.D Student in Industrial Engineering -at both Linagora and Ecole des Mines d'Albi-Carmaux-. She is specialized in SOA, SOA Governance, BPM, Modelling (UML, SoaML, BPMN, etc.), MDA and Model Transformation. She also participates in Nationally and European projects. Currently, she participates in the CHOReOS FP7 project and works in the implementation of tools for SOA Governance.

Yousri KOUKI received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from École des Mines de Nantes in 2013, his Computer Science Engineering and Master degrees the National School of Computer Sciences (ENSI) in 2010 and 2011, respectively. He is/was involved in several French-funded projects. In the context of some of these projects, he designed and developed an open PaaS solution that supports the Lifecycle of Cloud Applications across multiple IaaS. He served as a reviewer of several international conferences and journals.

PhD in Computer Sciences, Hoan worked on the verification of security protocols , trust management for Internet application (Formal method, Theorem Prover). Then he also worked on a R&D project to develop a Social Network for the researchers community. Currently, he participates in the gSafe project and works on the Services of Signature, Authentication and Identification of gSafe.

Tom joined the Linagora Reseach Team in 2015, after a PhD thesis in Artificial Intelligence at the Toulouse University. His PhD topic concerned the solving of complex continuous optimization problems using multi-agents systems. His main topics of expertise are the engineering of distributed, self-adaptive systems and complex problem solving using emergent approaches.

In the context of the Integrated Design for Complex Systems ARN project (http://www.irit.fr/id4cs/), lead engineer of a multi-agent system for the distributed solving of multi-disciplinary optimization problems.

Houpert Yoann integrated the gSafe Project Team on June 2014 as a traineeship. He is a Student at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse and is preparing a master degree in Computer Sciences.

On gSafe project, he works on the backend part as well as the user frontend with new technologies such as AngularJS or Ionic.

Thanks to his masters in several fields, combined with extended experiences, Laurent is the ringleader of Petals Link related websites. While leading occasionnaly law-related activities, such as partnership contract negociation, his main mission resides in internal and external communication projects, including daily content management (news, press release) and since last year, conception/refactoring of other LINAGORA related websites.
