Background

I received my M.Sc. degree in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL) in 2000, and my Ph.D. degree in Communication Systems from the same institution in 2005.

I am currently a member of research staff at Nokia Lausanne. Until mid 2008, I was a research scientist at the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories in Berlin.

I received the honorable mention of the 2005 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition.
