I graduated in Computer Science Engineering from the "Ecole Nationale des Sciences de l'Informatique", Tunis (Tunisia) in 1997. I was awarded Ph.D degree by the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris in 2000. My thesis work on the subject of QoS routing for elastic flows in multiservice networks was performed in France Telecom R&D laboratories. I joined France Telecom R&D as a research engineer in 2000. My research has been mainly in the field of performance evaluation and design of traffic controls for multiservice networks. In particular, since 2002, I have been working on flow-aware networking, a new resource allocation paradigm for IP networks (e.g., Cross-protect). I received the title of Senior Expert in 2004. I have been in charge of the "Traffic and Resource Management" research team from 2005 to 2011. Since March 2011, I am working on CDN deployments within an operational entity of the France Telecom-Orange Group.
