Introduction

Bonjour,

I am a faculty member (Professeur) in the Mobile Communications Department of the Eurecom Institute. 

Eurecom is a leading graduate school and research center devoted to communication systems, located in HighTech-strong Sophia Antipolis on the French RIviera.

My fields of expertise include wireless networking design, signal processing and communication theory. 

My research interests as are on adaptive and robust transmission techniques, jointly at the physical and link layer,  aimed at high-spectrum-efficiency*  digital communications.  More recently i also research on properties of dense random networks and distributed resource allocation algorithms for these.

This area of research is at the cross-roads between signal processing, communications theory, information theory and networking. More information is available under "research".

At Eurecom, I also teach on "Advanced Topics in Wireless" including MIMO systems, "Information theory" and advanced data-geared 3G systems in "Mobile Communications Systems". 

*Bluntly speaking, high number of bits per second per Hz per Euro.
