Biography

A former student of Lycée Descartes (Algiers) and Lycée Henri IV (Paris), Mérouane Debbah entered the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay in 1996 and obtained his PhD degree in 2002. He started his career at Motorola Labs in Saclay in 1999. He joined the Telecommunication Research Center of Vienna in 2002 as a senior researcher (ftw.). From 2003 to 2007, he was an assistant Professor at Eurecom in Sophia-Antipolis. In 2007, he was appointed full professor at CentraleSupélec (campus of Gif-sur-Yvette) at the age of 31. At the same time, he founded and was director of the Alcatel-Lucent chair on Flexible Radio. This was the first industrial chair in telecommunication in France with close ties between CentraleSupélec and Bell Labs[1]. In 2014, he joined Huawei and founded the Huawei Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab[2] in Paris, with a special focus on mathematical sciences applied to wireless, optical and networking communications. In 2019, the lab had 100 researchers and was a worldwide reference in the fundamentals of 5G and beyond and AI for Telecommunications. In 2020, in order to push more fundamental breathroughs in the ICT field, he founded the Lagrange Mathematical and Computing Reseearch center in Paris. The center brings together the world's leading mathematical researcher and scholars in Theoretial Computer Sciences and aims to foster new theories that break the actual limits (Von-Neumann architectures, Artificial Intelligence, Shannon's Law and Moore's law).
