About me

I am a researcher at the interface between artificial intelligence and programmable networking. My research leverages these two areas to contribute to unleashing the full potential of next-generation networks. My research interests are broadly in the areas of in-network computing, network security, IoT, and distributed systems.

I am currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science at the University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science. Prior to joining Southampton, I was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Computing Infrastructure Group in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, headed by Prof. Noa Zilberman.

Before joining Oxford, I was a research assistant in the Networks Data Science Group at IMDEA Networks Institute in Madrid, Spain, headed by Prof. Marco Fiore.

I obtained my PhD degree in Telematics Engineering from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in September 2024. My PhD project was part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 project “BANYAN” which aimed to bring big data analytics to radio access networks. During my PhD, I visited Ranplan Wireless and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom as part of the secondments of the EU project. I also visited the SMART team at Orange Innovation Networks for another secondment.

Prior to my PhD studies, I completed an engineering degree at the University of Yaounde I, in Cameroon and a master’s in electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, in Rwanda. There, my research was on machine learning for energy-saving optimization in cellular networks.
