Élie AwwadAssociate Professor (Maître de Conférences) in Optical CommunicationsLTCI Télécom Paris Institut Polytechnique de Paris Room 3D58 19 Place Marguerite Perey 91120 Palaiseau, France Email: elie.awwad(at)telecom-paris.fr Tel.: +33 1 75 31 40 31 |
I joined Télécom Paris in October 2019 as an associate professor in the optical transmission team (GTO: Groupe de Transmission Optique) of the LTCI lab (Laboratoire de Traitement et de Communication de l’Information). I am currently co-supervising PhD thesis projects dealing with monitoring optical fiber networks and optical fiber sensing. I teach several courses at the school including a module on optical fiber transmissions in the Réseaux Optiques et Systèmes Photoniques (ROSP) M2 master program. I hold M.Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from the Lebanese University and telecom engineering from Télécom Paris (2011), and a PhD in communications and electronics from Télécom Paris (2015). Previously, I worked as a research scientist at Nokia (ex- Alcatel-Lucent) Bell Labs from 2015 until 2019. I am also a regular reviewer for several scientific journals and serve as a TPC member of the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) since 2022. My research funding sources include national CIFRE agreements (joint PhD supervision with industrial partners) and grants from public and private sectors.
