Resume

Education
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany and an «Habilitation ŕ Diriger des Recherches» from University of Nice.
For the academic year 1982--1983, he was awarded a fellowship from the Graduate School of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Teaching
Since 1992 he has been teaching courses at EURECOM in the areas of computer networking and distributed systems.

Industrial experience
From March 1989 to February 1992 he was a Member of Technical Staff with the Computer Communications Research District of Bell Communications Research, Morristown, US.

Major research interest
His areas of research are distributed systems and computer networks, with emphasis on scalability. In the past he has been working transport protocol design, video server architectures, large multicast distribution, web caching and content distribution, and scheduling.

Visibility, membership, committee
He is currently an associate editor of the IEEE Networking Magazine and the ACM Computer Communication Review.
He was conference co-chair of several international conferences and member of PC of numerous international conferences and guest editor of a special issue of IEEE Journal in Selected Areas in Communications.

He has organised numerous conferences. Most recently he has been General Co-chair of ACM Sigcomm 2009 and TPC co-chair of Co-Next 2009.

He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.
