UCN@SOPHIA organizes a scientific day for presenting the Labex PhD research activities on April 24, in the SophiaTech campus (Amphitheater in Forum building). 

The objective of this day is to give an overview of the UCN@Sophia research activities, focused on telecommunication networks and their evolutions, and to make it possible for students and researchers to discuss their work and approaches in this area.
This day will allow everyone to discover the scientific work in the Labex through presentations and posters. This is also an opportunity to support our young researchers. That's why several EURECOM PhD students also propose topics on this day:
Florian Lugou, "Security analysis for communicating devices", Sosina-Mengistu Gashaw: "Understanding and modeling mobility characteristics of scooters and motorcycles for user-centric ITS apps", Luigi Vigneri: "Vehicles as a mobile cloud", Xiwen Jiang: "Exploiting channel reciprocity in massive MIMO", et Alberto Benegiamo: "Mathematical tools for smart-grids".

Go support them!
