I am a Ph.D. candidate working with Dr. Walid Dabbous and Dr. Thierry Turletti in the topic of "Integration of heterogeneous experimental environments for the evaluation of networking protocols and applications". I joined the Diana team (ex Planete team) at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis in December 2009 as a research engineer. There, I participated to the development of several networking experimental platforms (such as Planetlab, NS-3 Simulator, and NEMU emulator), and to the testbed federation efforts. In July 2011 I started a Ph.D. with the objective to deepen my knowledge of networking and experimental research.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Communication networks, content distribution, network virtualization and network evaluation environments. I am specially interested on studying solutions to perform network protocols and application evaluation in an automated manner, over different environments, whether virtual, physical or a mixture of both. This involves discovering adequate techniques to design, deploy and control network experiments on complex systems, while ensuring experiment repeatability and stability.

I am also interested in other research areas such as collection and processing of large data sets and information retrieval.

OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS

• NEPI: Network Experiment Programming Interface
  NEPI is a Python-based programming interface for network experiment management, capable of controlling simulators, emulators, and distributed computers. NEPI counts with users both in academia (LIP6, INRIA) and private companies (Elecnor Deimos). Designed the current architecture and developed the core modules for experiment modeling and deployment automation.

• The ns-3 simulator The ns-3 simulator is a C++ discrete-event network simulator for Internet systems, with application layer emulation capabilities. Developed the fd-net-device module to transparently exchange network traffic between the simulator and the real world. Performed as organization administrator for ns-3 at Google summer of code 2010

• NEMU: Network Emulator
  NEMU is a lightweight network emulator embedded in a small python library. It can be used to deploy an emulated Ethernet network in a single machine, allowing to simplify evaluation of a network design prior to deployment. Contributed to this project with code reviews and bug fixes.
