I have done a Ph.D. on forwarding-paradigms and characterization of mobile networks.

In 2011, I started working at the Paris Lab of Technicolor and shifted my research focus toward machine learning.

I currently work on distributed inference systems based on Bayesian networks.

Since my contract with Technicolor is running out soon, I am looking for a position as a researcher in Europe or in the U.S.

Dissertation

I have completed my Ph.D. in the Communication Systems Group at ETH Zurich.

The subject of my dissertation is the characterization of mobile wireless network scenarios and the analytical comparison of paradigms to leverage communication opportunities for end-to-end communication.
