I am an associate professor at ETH Zürich where I lead the Networked Systems Group (NSG). My research interests lie at the crossroads of theory and practice, with a focus on network programmability and Internet routing. Overall, I aim at making (large) computer networks more performant and easier to manage.
I completed my PhD in computer science in October 2012 at the University of Louvain under the guidance of Olivier Bonaventure . My thesis is entitled " Methods and Techniques for Disruption-Free Network Reconfiguration ". After my PhD, I spent two years at Princeton University working with Jennifer Rexford as a postdoctoral researcher.
Prior to my PhD, I earned my master degree in computer science from the University of Louvain in 2008. I also earned a master degree in management from the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management in 2010.
