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

I am looking for a position as a postdoctoral research fellow in the U.S.

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