Alexandre Proutiere is a professor of Electrical Engineering at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology. [1] He received an engineering degree from Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecoms (Paris) and then, from 1998 to 2000, he worked in the radio communication department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris. He received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France in 2003 under the supervision of James Roberts. Following his PhD he worked as a researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge (UK) before joining KTH as an associate professor.

Research

Proutiere's research focuses on the design and performance evaluation of computer networks, with a specific interest in resource allocation and control in wireless systems. His work has had significant impact both in the development of theoretical tools and in their practical application. This is highlighted by the "Best Paper" awards he has received from top publication venues such as ACM SIGMETRICS and ACM Mobihoc. Additionally, his work has been recognized by the ACM SIGMETRICS Rising Star award, given for outstanding contributions to computer/communication performance evaluation by a research not more than seven years from their PhD.
