Short Bio

  • Matthias Grossglauser is a Professor of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he co-directs the Information and Network Dynamics lab. His current research interests center on machine learning, stochastic networks, and discrete choice models, and on their applications in artificial intelligence, network science, computational social sciences, and recommender systems.

    He is a member of the Federal Communications Commission (ComCom), the independent regulatory authority for the Swiss telecommunications market. He was the director of EPFL's Doctoral School in Computer and Communication Sciences (2016-2019). From 2007-2010, he was with the Nokia Research Center (NRC) in Helsinki, Finland, leading the Internet Laboratory, a research organization comprising seven teams in security, networking, social media, and user experience. He was also in charge of a tech-transfer program focused on applied data mining and machine learning, and served on Nokia's CEO Technology Council, a team of technology experts advising the Nokia CEO. Prior to this, he was Assistant Professor at EPFL, and Principal Research Scientist in the Networking and Distributed Systems Laboratory at AT&T Research (Shannon Labs) in New Jersey, USA. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Sorbonne Université, a M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, and an engineering degree in Communication Systems from EPFL.

    He is a Fellow of the IEEE and of ELLIS, and the recipient of the 1998 Cor Baayen Award from the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) and of the 2006 CoNEXT/SIGCOMM Rising Star Award. He was associate editor of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (2001-2003).

Professional Activities


Email - A Plea for Mercy...

  • Like most people, I am struggling to keep up with my email. Here are a few rules that help me handle common requests more efficiently:

    EPFL student seeking project The list of student projects at all levels (semester, diploma, and pre-doctoral school) can be found here. If you write to inquire about a project, please include your resume with your grades.
    External student seeking summer internship My lab does not provide summer internships directly to external students. However, our School has programs for such internships, such as Summer@IC. Please apply to these programs directly, as I am unable to respond to personal requests for internships. Thank you!
    Graduate student seeking Ph.D. position Thank you for your interest in my research and in our Ph. D. program. Please note that graduate admissions at our school are centralized. Kindly consult the following pages for more information on the doctoral program in Computer, Communication, and Information Sciences.
    Review request Like most of us, I receive requests to review papers at a much higher rate than I can possibly handle. As a selection criterion, I tend to accept reviews of papers that fall into my areas of expertise, and from journals and conferences that do not seek to extract excessive financial profit from the work that authors and reviewers provide for free to the scientific community.
