Jiazi Yi, PhD
Research Engineer
Jiazi Yi joined the Network Research Group of Ecole Polytechnique in 2010 as a postdoc researcher, and was until summer 2021 a research engineer in the group. Jiazi got his Ph.D from University of Nantes, in 2010, a M.Sc. in Electronic System from Polytech’Nantes (France), and a M.Sc. in Computer Science, South China University of Technology.
Jiazi's scientific interests included mobile ad hoc networks, smart grid, routing protocols, sensor networks, long range and low power networks, QoS, etc. His PhD thesis focused on the multi-path routing protocol for ad hoc networks, in which MP-OLSR was proposed. He has published above 30 peer-reviewed publications and co-authored several international standards. He was also one of the main contributors of LOADng routing protocol, which is the default routing mechanism used in G3-PLC for the future smart grid now being deployed in France and allover the world.

Sonia Toubaline, PhD
Research Fellow
Dr. Sonia Toubaline worked with us as a research fellow on the SOGRID project, which aimed at testing in real conditions a G3-PLC (Power Liner Communication) architecture from electrical domestic meter to source station. Several technological innovations were designed, developed, deployed and assessed to insure a real-time control of low and medium voltage electrical networks.
Her expertise is in mathematical modeling and optimization.
Sonia is currently a faculty member at Université Paris-Dauphine. This is her new homepage.
