معرفی
Michèle Wigger is a Researcher in the Department of Communications and Electronics at Télécom Paris, part of Institut Mines-Télécom, where she has conducted pioneering work in information theory since joining in 2009.
Her educational background includes:
- Medal-awarded Master's and Doctoral theses from ETH Zurich
- Postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Diego
Wigger's research centers on the fundamental limits of communication systems, with expertise in task-oriented communication, quantum information theory, and cryptographic applications. She develops novel coding schemes that exceed traditional efficiency benchmarks, particularly for distributed computing networks and integrated sensing-communication (ISAC) systems critical to autonomous vehicles and robotics.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- ERC Starting Grant (2017) for foundational work on communication limits
- ERC Consolidator Grant (2023) for theoretical advances in sensing systems
Wigger leads major European-funded projects, including her current five-year ERC Consolidator initiative starting June 2024 that explores quantum communication and 'change of measure converse' proof techniques. She actively shapes her field through community engagement, notably as co-organizer of the 2025 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), fostering collaborations across quantum research teams on the Saclay plateau.
