Work and Publications
Between September 2004 and September 2007 I was a PhD student of the
University Pierre et Marie Curie, supervised by
Serge Fdida and
Matthieu Latapy.
I was staying at the LIP6 in the team
Networks and Performance.
I focused on the large graphs and complex networks,
and particularly on the Metrology of these graphs and networks.
Here is a list of projects I've been involved with, together with
the corresponding articles we wrote:
Network inference from traceroute measurements (with
Alain Barrat,
Eric D. Kolaczyk,
Luca Dall'Asta and
Cun-Hui Zhang)
This project aims at estimating the size of a network (like the
Internet) from partial traceroute measurements. We ran extensive
simulations to evaluate empirically the performance of our
estimators.
A Radar for the Internet (with Matthieu Latapy and
Benjamin Orgogozo, among many others)
The 'Radar' consists in scanning regularly a part of the Internet
topology with traceroute ran from a fixed source.

talk we gave on the subject. This project is part of
MetroSec.
Fast generation of random connected graphs with prescribed degrees
This work was started during my MS. More details, and an
open-source implementation is available here:
