معرفی
François Baccelli is a Research Director at INRIA Paris and Visiting Professor at Télécom Paris, leading the ERC Advanced Grant NEMO project on network mathematics. He holds a Doctor Honoris Causa from Heriot-Watt University and is a Member of the French Academy of Sciences. His career spans key roles including head of the Simons Center on Communication, Information and Network Mathematics (2012–2019), and faculty positions at École Polytechnique (1991–2003) and the University of Texas at Austin (2012–2021) as Simons Math+ECE Chair.
Education:
- PhD in Applied Mathematics from Université Paris-Sud (1983), advised by Erol Gelenbe.
- Graduate of Télécom Paris (1977).
Research Interests: Baccelli’s work bridges applied probability, stochastic geometry, and network dynamics with applications to telecommunications. He pioneered spatial stochastic networks, stochastic geometry modeling of wireless systems, and max-plus algebra for discrete-event systems. His contributions include foundational theories on queuing networks, Palm probabilities, and latency-constrained system design.
Awards & Recognition:
- 2024 Blackwell Prize (INFORMS Applied Probability Society).
- 2014 ACM Sigmetrics Achievement Award.
- 2014 IEEE Stephen O. Rice and Leonard G. Abraham Prizes.
Collaborations: Co-founder of the LINCS joint laboratory (INRIA/IMT/Nokia Bell Labs/Sorbonne/SystemX), fostering interdisciplinary research in communications and networks. Supervised numerous graduate students who now lead academic and industrial research globally.
Labs & Teams: LINCS laboratory and ERC NEMO project, focused on network mathematics and large-scale system dynamics.
