Informal International Partners

Socrate has strong collaborations with several international partners.

• Princeton University, School of Applied Science, Department of Electrical Engineering, NJ. USA. This cooperation with Prof. H. Vincent Poor is on topics related to decentralized wireless networks. Samir M. Perlaza has been appointed as Visiting Research Collaborator at the EE Department for the academic period 2016-2017. Scientific-Leaders at Inria: Samir M. Perlaza and Jean-Marie Gorce.

• Technical University of Berlin, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Germany. This cooperation with Prof. Rafael Schaffer is on secrecy and covert communications. Scientific-Leaders at Inria: Samir M. Perlaza.

• National University Singapore (NUS), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Singapore. This collaboration with Prof. Vincent Y. F. Tan is on the study of finite block-length transmissions in multi-user channels and the derivation of asymptotic capacity results with non-vanishing error probabilities. Scientific-Leaders at Inria: Samir M. Perlaza

• University of Sheffield, Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, Sheffield, UK. This cooperation with Prof. Inaki Esnaola is on topics related to information-driven energy systems and multi-user information theory. Scientific-in-charge at Inria: Samir M. Perlaza.

• Rutgers University, Winlab, Orbit testbed. This cooperation with Ivan Seskar is related to experimental wireless testbed. Orbit has been one of the first wireless testbeds of its type. Tanguy Risset and Leonardo Sampaio-Cardoso have visited Winlab and I. Seskar visited the Socrate team for one week. Their collaboration is on the development of tools to ease experiment handling on wireless testbeds: visualisation, synchronization etc. Scientific-Leader at Inria: Tanguy Risset

• University of Arizona, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Tucson, AZ, USA. This cooperation with Prof. Ravi Tandon is on topics related to channel-output feedback in wireless networks. Scientific-Leader at Inria: Samir M. Perlaza.

• University of Cyprus, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus. This cooperation with Prof. Ioannis Krikidis is on topics related to energy-harvesting and wireless communications systems. Scientific-Leaders at Inria: Guillaume Villemaud and Samir M. Perlaza.

• Universidade Federal do Ceará, GTEL, Departamento de Teleinformática, Fortaleza, Brazil. This recently started cooperation with Prof. Tarcisio Ferreira Maciel is on topics related to the optimization of radio ressources for massive MIMO in 5G and 5G-like wireless communications systems. Scientific-in-charge at Inria: Leonardo Sampaio-Cardoso.

• Universidad Nacional del Sur, LaPSyC laboratory, Bahía Blanca , Argentina. This cooperation with Prof. Juan Cousseau is on topics related to Full-Duplex communications and Interference Alignment. Scientific-in-charge at Inria: Guillaume Villemaud.
