Short Bio

I am a researcher at the INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France, in the project-team Planète. Prior to that position, I was an Architect at Castify Networks, Sophia Antipolis, France.

I received my Ph.D. (docteur ès sciences) in Communication Systems from the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France. I did my thesis work at the Institut Eurecom, France, in the Ernst Biersack's group btroup working on Multicast Congestion Control. I also received a master degree in mathematics (maîtrise de mathématiques) for the Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France.

More details are available in my Curriculum Vitae.
