Biographie
Philippe Janson est ingénieur électronicien diplômé de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) et détient un Mastère et un Doctorat en sécurité informatique du Massachusetts Institute of Technology. De 1976 à 1996 il a enseigné le cours de systèmes d'exploitation à l'Ecole Polytechique de l'ULB. En 1976 il a rejoint le Laboratoire de Recherche d'IBM à Zurich, où il a travaillé sur les réseaux locaux (LAN), dont le Token Ring d'IBM. En 1986 il a travaillé sur des passerelles entre LANs au Laboratoire de Développement d'IBM à Austin, Texas. De retour à Zurich en 1987 il a mené divers projets sur les réseaux hétérogènes et la sécurité informatique. En 1995 il a pris la tête d'un nouveau Département d'Informatique au Laboratoire de Recherche d'IBM à Zurich. En 1995 il a été élu à l'Academie de Technologie d'IBM, dont il fut Vice President en 2000 et 2001, dirigeant en même temps les Relations Universitaires du Laboratoire d'IBM à Zurich. De 1995 à 2007 il géra aussi pour l'Europe la relation entre la Recherche et le Secteur des Services Financiers d'IBM. En 2001 il a rejoint en même temps le Conseil Consultatif de la Faculté d'Informatique et de Communication de l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) le Conseil de Recherche du Fonds National Suisse. De 2004 à 2007 il fut chargé du Programme de transfert de projets de Recherche vers les engagements commerciaux des Services d'IBM. De 2007 à 2009 il a dirigé une équipe de recherche axée sur la gestion des identités et de l'authentification d'utilisateurs informatiques. En 2010 il a quitté IBM pour prendre un poste de professeur à l'EPFL, enseignant les bases de l'informatique puis la sécurité informatique. A sa retraite en 2017, il a développé et enseigné des cours de formation en cyberdéfense pour l'armée suisse. Il détient une douzaine de brevets et a publié une cinquantaine d'articles et un livre de cours sur les Systèmes d'Exploitation.
