Background

Before joining DoCoMo USA Labs in 2002, I worked at a start-up in optical data storage called Calimetrics. From 1998 to 2000 I did a post-doc at Stanford University in the Compression and Classification Group of the Information Systems Lab under the supervision of Robert M. Gray. I received my Ph.D. in EE from Telecom Paris (National Superior School of Telecommunications in Paris, France) in 1997, my M.S. in EE from the same school in 1994 and a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Montreal, Quebec, in 1992.

Professional Activities

  • Member of IEEE Information Theory Society, IEEE Communications Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society.
  • Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, IEEE Globecom.
