I am an associate professor (“maître de conférences”) at Université Côte d’Azur (UCA), France, since Sept. 2015. I teach mainly Networking courses at B. and M. degrees at the CS Dept. My research is developed in SigNet group at the I3S laboratory (a joint CNRS/UNS lab), where I work in optimal design and management of communication networks.
I received a MEng in Telecom. and a Ph.D. from Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT), Spain, in 2006 and 2011, respectively. My Ph.D. thesis, titled ‘Optimization and Planning of WDM Transparent Optical Networks,’ was distinguished with TELEFÓNICA Award for Best Thesis in Networking.
After that, I completed two postdocs in Orange Labs (2012-2013) and IRISA CNRS lab, in former IMT-Telecom Bretagne, (2013-2015) about optical switching networks and adaptive streaming, respectively.
I have written or coauthored 30 intl. papers (9 of them in ISI journals like IEEE/ACM Trans Netw or Eur J Oper Res), participated in intl. research projects (like BONE or SASER-SAVENET), visited intl. research labs (like the Networks Lab of Prof. Biswanath Mukherjee, University of California at Davis, USA).

This research is focused on the development of optimization algorithms for adaptive video control plane. These algorithms aims to maximize the end users’ Quality of Experience (QoE) when adaptive video streaming HAS is used to deliver multimedia contents in different scenarios, namely the novel virtualised fixed-mobile convergent access networks.
This research aims to propose novel video and networking algorithms able to online stream heavy VR contents in curent limited network infrastructures. These algorithms will optimize the VR users’ QoE, whose characterisation, different from the video users’ QoE, is still not well-defined. This VR users’ QoE identification is a first step in these research activities.
