Current Works

Thierry is working in the High-Speed Networking Research Group RODEO at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. His current interests include "reliable" multicast transmission, distribution of multimedia flows over heteregeneous receivers, and SpectrumWare applications (or how to implement in general purpose workstations standard DSP applications).

He has been a postdoctoral associate in the Telemedia, Networks and Systems Group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science between September'95 and September'96. He has been working in the SpectrumWare project headed by David Tennenhouse. He has designed and implemented in software part of a GSM base station which is currently integrated into the VuSystem.

Thierry has done his PhD studies in the High-Speed Networking Research Group RODEO at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. His previous research (done in particular with J-C. Bolot and C. Huitema) were focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating multimedia applications over the Internet. Specifically, He has developed IVS, one of the first videoconferencing application for the Internet. This software videoconferencing system allows multicast delivery of audio and video over the Internet. He also developed specific error control and rate control mechanisms for transmission of video streams. These mechanisms regulate the output rate of the codecs based on feedback information about the network state. They have been designed specifically to work in a multicast environment. Part of these works have been done within the MICE European Project.
