Short Bio
-
Matthias Grossglauser is an Associate Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL. He received his Diplôme d'Ingénieur en Systèmes de Communication degree from EPFL in 1994, the M.Sc. degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1994, and the Ph.D. from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) in 1998. His research interests are in social and information networks, privacy, mobile and wireless networking, and network traffic measurement and modeling. He received the 1998 Cor Baayen Award from the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM), the IEEE INFOCOM 2001 Best Paper Award, and the 2006 CoNEXT/SIGCOMM Rising Star Award. He served on the editorial board of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and on numerous Technical Program Committees.
From 2007-2010, he was with the Nokia Research Center (NRC) in Helsinki, Finland, holding the positions of Laboratory Director, then of Head of a tech-transfer program focused on data mining, analytics, and machine learning. In addition, he served on Nokia's CEO Technology Council, a technology advisory group reporting to the CEO. From 2003-2007, he was an Assistant Professor at EPFL. From 1998 to 2002, he was a Senior, then Principal Member of Research Staff in the Networking and Distributed Systems Laboratory at AT&T Research in New Jersey. From 1995 to 1998, he was a Ph.D. student at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France.

Email - A Plea for Mercy...
Like most people, I am struggling to keep up with my email. Here are a few rules that help me handle common requests more efficiently:
EPFL student seeking project The list of student projects at all levels (semester, diploma, and pre-doctoral school) can be found here. If you write to inquire about a project, please include your resume with your grades. Graduate student seeking Ph.D. position Thank you for your interest in my research and in our Ph. D. program. Please note that graduate admissions at our school are centralized. Kindly consult the following pages for more information on the doctoral program in Computer, Communication, and Information Sciences. Review request Like most of us, I receive requests to review papers at a much higher rate than I can possibly handle. As a selection criterion, I tend to accept reviews of papers that fall into my areas of expertise, and from journals and conferences that do not seek to extract excessive financial profit from the work that authors and reviewers provide for free to the scientific community.
