I am a PhD student in the Networks Data Science Group at IMDEA Networks Institute in Madrid, Spain. I am also a student at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where I am enrolled in the Telematics Engineering program. 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, with a conference paper published in IEEE UEMCON 2020. I am currently involved with the European Union's Horizon 2020 project "BANYAN" which aims to bring big data analytics to radio access networks. At the moment, I am visiting Ranplan Wireless and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom as part of the secondments of the project. Previously, I visited the SMART team at Orange Innovation Networks for another secondment. My current research interest is in the area of in-band network intelligence, with a focus on in-network machine learning. Recent research outputs are published in top conferences like IEEE INFOCOM.
