I have recently moved to Technicolor's new research lab in sunny Palo Alto, California. There, I will be working on news ways of using user data to improve the quality of personalized services such as movie recommendation systems. If you don't know the Palo Alto lab yet, you should check out our website and come visit us when you are in the Bay area! We are working on very cool research problems and our work will help Technicolor develop a new wave of great content-related products and services.

Not so long ago, I graduated from the University of Paris VI after three years being advised by Christophe Diot from the Technicolor Paris Research Lab. My PhD thesis is titled "Unsupervised Diagnosis of Traffic Anomalies" (you can download it in PDF). Over the last three years, I have had the chance to collaborate with Augustin Soule and Italo Cunha from ThLab, Haakon Rigberg and Jennifer Rexford from Princeton University, Ricardo Oliveira from UCLA, Renata Teixeira from LIP6, Nina Taft from Intel Labs Berkeley, and Ramesh Govindan from USC.

Research Interests

My current areas of interest include :

  • User Profiling
  • Physiological User Data
  • Internet Measurements
  • Traffic Anomaly Diagnosis
  • Network Performance Evaluation

Short Bio

I received a B.Sc. degree (cum Laude) in Computer Science from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2003. In 2006, I finished my M.Sc. in Systems Engineering working under the supervision of Edmundo de Souza e Silva, also at UFRJ. My M.Sc. thesis was on the prediction of packet loss statistics in end-to-end paths. I have also co-authored work on user-driven congestion control (with Edson Watanabe and Daniel Menasché) and the characterization of user behavior for video on demand systems (with Diana Tomimura). I joined the Technicolor Paris Lab in the summer of 2006 for an internship, and in 2007, I began my PhD studies.
