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. From 2004 to 2006, I was also appointed as a lecturer at EPFL.

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. My research interests are in stochastic models for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.

I received the honorable mention of the 2005 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition, and I was awarded the Top 3 Student Prize of the EPFL Graduate School in communication systems in 2001.
