(01.12.2021) Open PhD student position on the modelling of energy consumption in cellular networks. More details.
(06.09.2021) The project ECOMOME - Measurement and Optimisation of Energy Consumption in Cellular Networks will be funded by the CHIST-ERA 2020 call. The project will start in February 2022 and my collaborators for the next 3 years will be Marco Fiore, Marius Marcu and Diala Naboulsi.
(25.06.2021) I have been named as one of the two "best junior researchers" in the field of computer networks and systems in France in 2021. More details (in French) here.
(03.06.2021) The result of an excellent collaboration around the PhD thesis of Loic Bonnetain will be published in Transportation Research Part C. This is a joint work on improving the spatio-temporal granularity of user trajectories in mobile phone data, with Angelo Furno, Nour-Eddin El Faouzi, Marco Fiore, Zbigniew Smoreda and Cezary Ziemlicki.
(01.06.2021) The evaluation of the impact of the carrier sense mechanism in LPWANs, a part of the PhD thesis of Abderrahman Ben Khalifa, co-supervised with Hervé Rivano, will be presented at IFIP Wireless Days 2021, to be held at the end of the month in the virtual space.
(16.02.2021) This has been a long one in the making, but our work on rendering mobile phone data trajectories private was accepted for publication in ACM Transactions of Data Science. This is a collaboration with Marco Gramaglia, Marco Fiore and Angelo Furno.
(28.12.2020) The internship work of Zhiyi Zhang, co-supervised with Fabrice Valois, will be presented in March at IEEE WCNC 2021. The conference will take place in Nanjing, China, but Zhiyi will present his work virtually.
(25.09.2020) My project proposal on the deployment of mobile base stations for future cellular technologies received funding from the ANR. Therefore, project DEMON will start in Spring 2021, for a duration of 3.5 years.
(30.07.2020) Second PhD defense of a busy month. Abderrahman Ben Khalifa will defend his work with the title "Medium Access Control for Dedicated IoT Networks". The external members for this defense will be Cong Duc Pham, Antoine Gallais, Nancy El Rachkidy, and Mickael Maman.
(06.07.2020) Today is a big day, Rodrigue Domga Komguem will defend his PhD thesis with the title "Autonomous Wireless Sensor Network Architecture for Vehicular Traffic Monitoring at an Intersection". This is a joint PhD between INSA Lyon and University of Yaoundé 1. The external members for this defense will be Nathalie Mitton, Bernard Tourancheau, André-Luc Beylot, Marcel Fouda, René Ndoundam, and Thomas Djotio.
(07.06.2020) The collaboration started around the PhD thesis of Jad Oueis still produces nice results. The study on the robustness of power maps in cellular networks, a collaboration with Yigit Ozcan, Catherine Rosenberg, and Fabrice Valois was accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management.
(25.05.2020) The story behind the CamComSim simulator has been selected as one of the best papers at ACM MSWiM 2019 and now benefits of an extended version in Computer Communications. This is a collaboration with Alexis Duque, Hervé Rivano and Adrien Desportes.
(07.04.2020) In these strange times, we are trying to help by computing a virus propagation risk factor for different geographical areas, using mobile phone data. The project SafeCityMap is supported by the Inria Covid mission, and it represents a collaboration with Aline Carneiro Viana and Artur Ziviani.
(11.01.2020) The study on the use of carrier sense in the context of dedicated IoT networks, the PhD topic of Abderrahman Ben Khalifa, will be summarized in a paper accepted at IEEE VTC Spring 2020, to be held in Antwerp in May.
(07.01.2020) From January 14, for 2 weeks, I will be in Fes, Morocco, to teach a Master level class on mobile network architectures at INSA Euro-Méditérranée, the moroccan branch of the INSA group.
(14.11.2019) On November 21, at INSA Lyon, I will defend my HDR thesis, entitled "From Networks to Data and Back Again: A Story of Wireless Networks in the 21st Century". This will summarize my research for the last 7 years, in front of a jury composed of André-Luc Beylot, Andrzej Duda, Isabelle Guerin-Lassous, Xavier Lagrange, Mahesh K. Marina, Catherine Rosenberg, and Fabrice Valois.
(20.10.2019) The first paper resulted from the PhD thesis of Romain Pujol, co-supervised with Fabrice Valois, was accepted at the conference ICT-DM 2019, to be held in Paris in December.
(18.10.2019) On November 5, together with Francois Gagnon and Diala Naboulsi, we will organise a workshop on future flexible and autonomous cellular network architectures, in the context of the Entretiens Jacques Cartier, at ETS Montreal.
