Laurent Clavier is a Professor at IMT Lille Douai (now IMT Nord Europe), affiliated with the Institut Mines-Télécom and conducting research within the CNRS laboratories IEMN (UMR 8520) and IRCICA (USR 3380). His work centers on digital communications and the physical layer of wireless networks for IoT applications, especially in energy-autonomous and ultra-dense environments. His research focuses on interference modeling in wireless networks, particularly under non-Gaussian and heavy-tailed conditions such as those found in IoT scenarios. He investigates the impact of interference in LoRa-like and SCMA-based networks, with a strong emphasis on statistical modeling, channel access mechanisms, and capacity analysis under α-stable noise. The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in analyzing and modeling real-world interference in low-power, large-scale wireless systems. Key themes include LoRa network optimization, unsupervised signal detection, multiuser access, and theoretical limits in non-Gaussian channels—indicating a deep integration of information theory, signal processing, and practical IoT deployment challenges.
