About
I am Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Ecole Polytechnique, where I work in the Epizeuxis team, the Networks research team of LIX laboratory.
From March to Aug. 2022, I was Postdoctoral Researcher at INRIA Lille where I worked with Nathalie Mitton in the Self-organizing Future Ubiquitous Networks team. From Oct. 2018 to Jan. 2022, I was PhD student at Toulouse INP in RMESS team of IRIT laboratory, under the supervision of Gentian Jakllari and André-Luc Beylot.
Before that, I worked as Research Engineer in the same team (Nov. 2017 to Sept. 2018) and Graduate Research Intern in the SEPIA team of IRIT (from March to Aug. 2017). The latter internship was part of my Computer Engineering curriculum at Polytechnique Yaoundé (Cameroon).
My main research interests are wireless networks and ubiquitous computing with applications to localization technologies, mobile healthcare and smart environments.
My CV (in french) is available here.

Teaching
I intervene in different teaching units related to Networks and Computer Science in general. Those teachings span across all the 3 levels (L3, M1, M2) of Ecole Polytechnique's core engineering cycle and also cover Bachelor and MScT (Master of Science and Technology) programs.
M2: Master 2, M1: Master 1, L3: License 3 (Bachelor level).
