Michel Raynal[1] (born 1949), is a French informatics scientist, professor at IRISA, University of Rennes, France. He is known for his contributions in the fields of algorithms, computability, and fault-tolerance in the context of concurrent and distributed systems. Michel Raynal is also Distinguished Chair professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University[2] and editor of the “Synthesis Lectures on Distributed Computing Theory” published by Morgan & Claypool[3]. He is a senior member of Institut Universitaire de France and a member of Academia Europaea.

Michel Raynal co-authored numerous research papers[4][5] on concurrent and distributed computed, and has written 12 books. His last three books[6][7][8] constitute an introduction to fault-free and fault-tolerant concurrent and distributed computing. In his publications Michel Raynal strives to promote simplicity as a “first-class citizen” in the scientific approach.[citation needed] Michel Raynal (and his co-authors) won several best paper awards in prestigious conferences such as IEEE ICDCS 1999, 2000 and 2001, SSS 2009 and 2011, Europar 2010, DISC 2010, and ACM PODC 2014.[citation needed]

When Michel Raynal became Emeritus professor (2017), INRIA, IRISA and the University of Rennes organized a Workshop[9] in his honor featuring various speakers, including Turing Award recipient (Leslie Lamport) and Dijkstra Prize recipients (Leslie Lamport, Maurice Herlihy, Yoram Moses), and professor at Collège de France (Rachid Guerraoui).
