I am an Associate Professor (Maître de Conférences) in computer science at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and I am a member of LIP. I’m also co-founder and CTO of NetMicroscope.

My research focuses broadly on leveraging emergent technologies to engineer software systems designed to measure and improve network service performance.

Before joining ENS Lyon, I was a Research Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs as well as a Post-Doc at Inria, Paris. I obtained a Ph.D. from WINLAB at Rutgers University.

Recent news

Dec 12, 2023 Our work on developing NetDiffusion, a tool to generate synthetic network traffic that is high fidelity and conforms to protocol specifications, has been accepted and will appear at ACM Sigmetrics 2024. Congrats to Chase for leading this work!
Oct 17, 2023 Congratulations to Johann for his first accepted paper! In this work we present an adaptive system to support ML models on network traffic and it will appear at ACM CoNEXT’s student workshop.
Sep 10, 2023 Our work on developing a new way to generate high-fidelity network traffic traces has been accepted and will appear at ACM HotNets 2023. Congrats to Chase for the great work!
Jul 4, 2023 We have received an award from the FIL to study the synthetic generation of network traffic in real time! This is a collaboration with INSA Lyon.
Jul 4, 2023 We have received an ANR award to study the network behavior of IoT devices! Congrats to Thomas for leading the project. This is a collaboration with Inria and École Polytechnique.
