I am an Assistant Professor at the INGI department of the ICTEAM institute at UCLouvain in Belgium. I decided to stay there after a one year post-doc at the IP Networking Lab of Olivier Bonaventure, following a 3 years post-doc at the Networked Systems lab of Dejan Kostic at KTH, Sweden. I defended my PhD thesis advised by Laurent Mathy in 2018 at the Université de Liège in Belgium.

I am now leading the Efficiency of Networked Systems Group. We are working on designing, implementing and validating a new but backward-compatible Internet based on the novel programmable network infrastructure, such as SmartNICs and P4. To this end, we’ll tackle systems problems related to high-speed networking and large scale load-balancing.

This website contains information about some posts about my research project, about some of the courses I gave,  and unrelated posts in some fields I just enjoy like electronicdomotic, unix, or networking. I also built multiple Android applications, and in my young years, many websites.
