Debmalya Biswas

Senior Researcher
Lausanne, Switzerland

I am a Senior Researcher at the Pervasive Communications Laboratory, Nokia Research, Lausanne, Switzerland. Previously, I was at SAP Research, Karlsruhe, Germany where I worked on Multi-party Secure Protocols for the EU project SecureSCM.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science & Control (INRIA), Rennes, France in Jan 2009. I did my M. Sc. (Computer Science) at Memorial University, St. John's, NL, Canada in Nov 2005.

I have also worked as a Technical Consultant for Oracle, India and Software Engineer for Infosys Technologies Limited, India.
