François BACCELLI
François Baccelli’s research directions are at the interface between Applied Mathematics and Communications. He is co-author of research monographs on point processes and stochastic geometry, point processes and queues, max plus algebras and network dynamics, stochastic geometry and wireless networks.
He received the Math+ECE Award of the Simons Foundation in 2012, the Sigmetrics Achievement Award of the ACM in 2014, and an ERC Advanced Award on the mathematics of networks in 2019. He is part time senior researcher at INRIA Paris in France and professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the USA. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences.
Bartlomiej BLASZCZYSZYN
Bartłomiej Błaszczyszyn received his PhD and Habilitation degrees in applied mathematics from the University of Wrocław, Poland, in 1995 and 2008, respectively. He is currently a Senior Researcher with Inria, member of the Computer Science Department, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris and teaching at PSL and Sorbonne University. His is interested in random network models. He works both on theoretical developments (clustering, correlations, limit theory for point processes, percolation) and on applications (performance evaluation of communication networks using information theory, queueing theory and stochastic geometry). He coauthored more than 80 papers and conference proceedings on these subjects in major international journals and conferences. He is involved in several book projects including the two-volume Stochastic Geometry and Wireless Networks (NOW Publishers, jointly with F. Baccelli), Stochastic Geometry Analysis of Cellular Networks (Cambridge University Press, jointly with M. Haenggi, P. Keeler, and S. Mukherjee), Random Geometric Models (available online), Random Measures, Point Processes, and Stochastic Geometry (available online, jointly with F. Baccelli and M.K. Karray).
