About

Since 2016, I am a telecommunication engineer at the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) in Toulouse, France. Before joining CNES, I was a postdoctoral researcher at INRIA Chile then NIC Chile Research Labs from June 2013 to July 2015. I worked on satellite communications and video streaming on error-prone networks.

I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ISAE), the French graduate school of aerospace engineering, in 2012. My thesis was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Jérôme LACAN and Prof. Marie-Laure BOUCHERET. My work focused on the application of superposition coding to improve the performance of satellite communications. Prior to my PhD, I received an engineer degree from ISAE-ENSICA and a research master in computer science, both in 2009.
