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.
