Céline Comte
I am a CNRS researcher within the SARA team at LAAS and the SOLACE team in Toulouse, France.
Between 2019 and 2022, I was a postdoctoral researcher and then an assistant professor in the Stochastic Operations Research group at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I completed my PhD in Computer Science from 2016 to 2019 at Télécom Paris and Nokia Bell Labs, where I was supervised by Thomas Bonald and Fabien Mathieu. During this period, I was hosted at the Laboratory of Information, Networking, and Communication Sciences (LINCS) in Paris.
Research interests
Stochastic networks, queueing theory, product-form queueing networks, reinforcement learning, exponential families, online stochastic matching, datacenters, communication networks
