Short Bio 

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, at the Computer Science Laboratory of Paris 6 (LIP6). During my PhD, I visited the rodeo group at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis and spent most of my time at the school of EE&T, University of New South Wales in Sydney.

I then held a research fellow appointment at the University of New South Wales in Sydney for 3 years, working on the Centie project in collaboration with the TIP/CSIRO. I then worked for one year at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Ingenieurs de Constructions Aeronautique (ENSICA), working as a visiting researcher in the Computer Science and applied mathematics department. I finally joined the Network and Pervasive Computing group in NICTA in january 2006.

Research Interests

I lead the social TV project at NICTA. My research interests spans from pervasive computing, P2P and generally distributed systems:

  • Content Distribution (e.g. peer-assisted streaming)
  • Network Measurement and Performance modelling
  • Mobile networking
  • Recommendation Systems
