• defense 29 October 2001
• focus on an entire network made of a Mobile Router (MR) and its attached nodes (MNN) changing its point of attachment to the Internet topology (see MONET page for more)
• initially, was Internet Routing for Mobile Wireless Communications
• see here what it became (English and French - please scroll down for English)
• written in English, summary in English and French
• available upon request until it shows up on the INRIA web site
• prepared at INRIA Rhône-Alpes in Grenoble (French Alps), PLANETE team and Motorola Labs Paris
• financed: by Motorola Labs Paris and ANRT (Association Nationale de la Recherche Technique) under a CIFRE grant.

• Fall 1997: MISTRAL Team, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis.
• made a short study on existing network simulators (not up-to-date, but useful).
• IP Switching

• June 1997: Masters Degree in Networks and Distributed Systems (DEA "Réseaux et Systèmes Distribués")
• University of Nice.
• Internship at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, RODEO Team under the supervision of Walid Dabbous.
• Dynamic Routing in Networks with UniDirectional Links (UDLR):

• Before: born in Alsace, northeastern France, started studies in the lovely city of Strasbourg (DUT Informatique) at Université Louis Pasteur, then military service - was still compulsory at that time :-(, then moved to the UK and obtained a Bachelor of Sciences (Honours) in Computer Science at the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough.

More About Me

See the picture of mine over there ? You've got the point. Cycling ! I was climbing the "Col du Galibier", one of the most famous and frightening climb of the French cycling lap ("Tour de France"). 2700 m ! This is near Grenoble, and this is the name of my computer too.  Remember the jersey I am still wearing ? The "Z" team, lead by Greg Lemond at the top of his glory. He is sometimes around Grenoble, I saw him on the Tour de France 1999 doing bicycle touring with a group of American. By the way, I am looking for a new "Z" racing short, mine is too old, if someone can provide me with one, please tell me.
