Biography

Matthieu Clouqueur received a Diplôme d'Ingénieur in Electrical Engineering from ENSEA (École Nationale Supérieure de l'Électronique et de ses Applications, France) in 1998. That year, he joined TRLabs in Edmonton (Canada) as a summer student, then as a graduate student, and in 2000, as a part-time research engineer. His activities at TRLabs first dealt with blind equalization of non-linear channels and then with survivable transport network design and analysis.

In 2004, he received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Alberta (Canada). His thesis, entitled "Availability of service in mesh-restorable transport networks," received the George Walker Award for best Ph.D. thesis of the University of Alberta Electrical and Computer Engineering Department in 2004. He then joined Siemens AG Corporate Technology in Munich (Germany) as a Research Scientist to conduct research on routing and optimal planning of long-haul optical WDM transmission systems.

His research interests include transport network planning and optimization, network resilience (protection and restoration), routing and wavelength assignment, analysis of service availability, multiple quality of Protection (QoP) and quality of service (QoS).

Matthieu Clouqueur has published numerous journal and conference papers on the topic of network resilience and has been a member of the technical programm committee member of the DRCN workshop since its 2003 edition.
