Olivier Lévêque is a Senior Scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. He conducts research at the Laboratory of Information Theory (LTHI) and holds teaching responsibilities in both Communication Systems (SSC) and Computer Science (SIN) sections. Additionally, he contributes to the Interface EPFL-Gymnases initiative. Lévêque obtained his Physics diploma (1995) and PhD in Mathematics (2001) from EPFL, with a visiting lectureship at Stanford University's Electrical Engineering Department in 2005-2006. His research explores fundamental aspects of information theory , random matrices , and stochastic calculus , with applications in wireless communications and network theory. Key interests include capacity scaling laws in ad hoc networks, diversity-multiplexing tradeoffs, and mathematical frameworks for communication systems. Recent publications demonstrate broad interdisciplinary engagement, spanning computational thinking assessment (2022), digital education frameworks (2019), satellite positioning systems (2018), and theoretical advances in probability (2018). His work consistently integrates mathematical rigor with practical communication challenges, particularly in wireless network optimization and information-theoretic security. He has supervised four doctoral students at EPFL and teaches courses including Information, Computation, Communication , Markov Chains and Algorithmic Applications , and Cryptography . Lévêque leads research activities within the Laboratory of Information Theory, focusing on theoretical foundations of modern communication systems.
