Landmark events
As we embark on the new academic year 2024/2025, we would like to extend our best wishes to all of you for a successful rentrée. This year brings exciting new developments, and we are eager to share some of them with you.
We have updated the schedule of our regular activities: seminar talks and Reading groups will take place, unless otherwise indicated, in Amphi 6, ground floor, Télécom Paris.
On September 18, we had the first new session of LINCS Seminar talks, and to kick off a promising season, we are pleased to inform that we planned three sessions with two talks in succession!
In addition to our regular activities, we are planning a wide range of one-off events throughout the year, and we count on your active participation.
Please remember that LINCS members are all invited to give a seminar talk on Wednesdays or suggest speakers they might be in contact with. The available slots are indicated on the page https://www.lincs.fr/tentative-seminar-schedule/.
News & Updates on regular activities
Seminar talks
These will still take place on Wednesdays at 2:00 pm, now preceded by a post-lunch coffee and cookies gathering starting from 1:00 pm in the Hedy Lamarr room—a perfect opportunity to catch up with colleagues before diving into the seminar discussions.
Here is the link to keep you updated on LINCS Semianar talks: https://www.lincs.fr/activities/seminars/
Reading groups
These have been moved to Fridays at 11:00 am. Following the discussions, the participants we’ll be invited to a buffet-style lunch in the Hedy Lamarr room to continue conversations in a more informal setting. The first Reading group of the year is schedulet for October 4th.

News & Updates on one-off events during the year
Here in chronological order, we will gradually release precise dates for:
PhD student Day
Ideally in November, we will welcome the Phd recruits related to LINCS and give all our students the opportunity to introduce themselves and present their research topics or works through an Elevator Pitch and/or a poster. During that day, supervisors will also introduce themselves, ensuring that everyone knows who to turn to for guidance in specific areas of expertise.
Here you can enjoy the video of Phd Elevetor pitches during the latest annual workshop.
Workshop by LINCS & Sorbonne University
Ideally in February, we organize the first LINCS workshop on AI & Cybersecurity, coordinated by Sébastien Tixeuil and taking place in Sorbonne University.
International Workshop by LINCS
Ideally in March, as in the past years, we will organize an international event on a specific topic to be defined. Last year’s topic was Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, it was coordinated by François Baccelli and co-sposored by Inria and PEPR Futur Networks.
Here you can enjoy the videos of all the lectures delivered by European researchers active in the field, included the astonishing keynote by Prof. Mathias Fink (ESPCI, France).
Feel free to propose topics for the 2025 occurrence of the event.
Retreat of the members
Ideally in April, as was customary before the move to Palaiseau and, most of all, before the Covid-19 lockdown, we intend to reinstate the two days and one night dedicated to work presentations, brainstorming, and team building in an isolated and elegant venue.
Annual Workshop with the Scientific Committee
Ideally in July, LINCS members present their works and discuss with the LINCS Scientific Committee, composed by internationally renowned.
Here you can enjoy the lectures of June 2024 editions: https://www.lincs.fr/2024-lincs-annual-workshop-with-its-scientific-committee/
LINCS newcomers
Paul-Pierre Rax
Paul-Pierre Rax is a student starting his PhD with Prof. Fançois Baccelli at INRIA Paris (team DYOGENE/MathNet). He is interested in stochastic geometry and random graphs in a broad sense, be it for the structures underlying and stemming from them or the dynamics they enable.
Ashutosh Balakrishnan
Ashutosh Balakrishnan is a Postdoctoral researcher at Télécom Paris, working with Prof. Francois Baccelli and Prof. Philippe Martins. He received the Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering jointly from IIT Delhi, India, and NYCU, Taiwan, in July 2024. He is working currently around designing energy harvesting enabled green future networks. His research interests involve distributed energy systems, queuing theory, wireless communication networks. He has been a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship, Govt. of India. He has also been a recipient of the Best Journal Award, ICST, NYCU Taiwan (2022) and the Innovation Excellence Award, COMSNETS (2024).
June Pyo Jung
June Pyo JUNG is a PhD student at Telecom Paris, focusing on federated learning, semantic communication, and anomaly detection. He holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Ajou University (KR). His research explores time-series data prediction using federated learning applied to real-world sensor and network data. His work includes anomaly detection in continuous data generated from sensors or networking devices, utilizing lightweight filters and advanced machine learning techniques. »
Philippe Sarotte
Philippe Sarotte is a PhD student at Inria under the supervision of Professor François Baccelli in the DYOGENE team (Dynamics of Geometric Networks). His work focuses on stochastic geometry applied to telecommunications, such as the study of the coexistence of satellite and terrestrial networks. His thesis will cover topics like the dynamics of point processes and queueing theory.
