Biography: I am a researcher in the Diana project-team (previously Planète) at INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée, now called Inria, research center of Université Côte d’Azur. I received my Master (DEA), PhD and HDR degrees in Computer Science from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in 1990, 1995 and 2006, respectively. My PhD took place within the High Speed Networking (RODEO) project-team at INRIA. In 1995-96, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Telemedia, Networks and Systems (TNS) group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, Cambridge, USA. My current research interests include Wireless Networks, Programmable Networks, Networking Experimental Platforms and Reproducible Research. I am a senior member of the IEEE and of the ACM.

Past Activities

  • I have been a postdoctoral associate in the Telemedia, Networks and Systems Group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science between September’95 and September’96. In this group, I have been working in the SpectrumWare project headed by David Tennenhouse. I have designed and implemented in software part of a GSM base station which has been integrated into the VuSystem.
  • I have done my PhD studies in the High-Speed Networking Research Group RODEO at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. My previous research (done in particular with Jean Bolot and Christian Huitema) were focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating multimedia applications over the Internet. Specifically, I have developed IVS, one of the first videoconferencing application for the Internet. This software videoconferencing system allows multicast delivery of audio and video over the Internet. I also developed specific error control and rate control mechanisms for transmission of video streams. These mechanisms regulate the output rate of the codecs based on feedback information about the network state. They have been designed specifically to work in a multicast environment.
