Short Biography

I received my diploma in engineering from Ecole Polytechnique (Paris, France) and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (Paris, France) in 1991 and 1993, respectively.
In 1993 I joined France Telecom R&D in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.
My research activities aim to evaluate the performance of communication networks. My principle tools are probability and stochastic processes, and more specifically  information and queueing theories. In my recent research I showed how to articulate the tools of these two theories to build global analytical performance evaluation methods for wireless cellular networks. These methods are used by Orange Operator for dimensionning its networks and for several practical studies of performance evaluation of these networks.
