The OneLab Steering Committee consists of key researchers from several of the facility's lead partners:
Professor Serge Fdida, OneLab Coordinator, conceived the vision behind OneLab, and developed the original project - leading to the launch of OneLab1 in 2006. He has been a professor at LIP6 Laboratory of UPMC, OneLab's coordinating partner, since 1995 and has a long history of involvement in European network research projects (OneLab, WIP, ACCA, ANA, ENEXT). He is the co-director of Euronetlab, a joint academic-industrial laboratory advancing research and development work on QoS routers, radio routers and security, and the co-founder of Qosmos, a company specialised in network monitoring. He received his PhD in 1984,and the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in Modelling of Computer Networks in 1989 from the University Pierre et Marie Curie.
Dr Thierry Parmentelat,OneLab Technical Director, manages OneLab's technical side. A senior research engineer at INRIA, his areas of interest include experimental testbeds, networking, and programming languages. Prior to joining INRIA, he has held various positions within the software industry, has been CTO (Chief Technical Officer) at Centile, a VOIP company, and formerly he has designed and implemented critical systems for various industrial sectors, like nuclear energy and aerospace. He graduated from the École Polytechnique in 1984, and received his PhD in 1991.
Dr Timur Friedman, OneLab Scientific Director, is responsible for the management of the scientific aspects of OneLab. A Maître de Conférences (lecturer) in computer networking at UPMC, he has both a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a MSc in Technology Management from the Stevens Institute of Technology. His Bachelor's degree is from Harvard College. Prior to entering the field of computer science, Mr Friedman worked in humanitarian relief management. He is the Director of PlanetLab Europe and has distinguished publications in network monitoring.
Professor Scott Kirkpatrick hails from the School of Engineering and Computer Science at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. While working previously at IBM Research, he compiled a distinguished scientific record (90+ publications, 10+ patents) and was elected a Fellow of the AAAS, the APS and the IEEE. He also has more than 20 years of experience in management at IBM, supervising several large multi-team research and development projects, and currently coordinates the 25+ Partner FP6 IP EVERGROW (2004-2008). He is a founder of the ARCADIA strategic COST activity, exploring the future Internet and its experimental infrastructure requirements jointly with colleagues from Europe, the US and the Far East.
Dr Walid Dabbous is a senior researcher at INRIA and professor at the École Polytechnique, France. His research interests include Future Internet architecture and protocols, networking experimental platforms and simulators, and experimental methodology for networking protocols evaluation. He obtained his DEA and his Doctorat d'Université from the Université Paris XI (Orsay) in 1987 and 1991 respectively. He joined the RODEO team within INRIA in 1987. He has been a staff researcher at INRIA since 1991, and the leader of the RODEO (then Planète) team since 1996.
Marcin Pilarskiof Telekomunikacja Polska left Fife College in Scotland with the Higher National Diploma in 1996 and obtained an unconditional offer of a direct entry place in the third year of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. In 2002 he received his MSc degree in computer engineering and has became an assistant at the Faculty of Mathematic and Information Science at Warsaw University of Technology. He has been acting as a PlanetLab Principal Investigator since 2003.
Professor Leandros Tassiulasis a professor at the Department of Computer Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of Thessaly and a research professor at the University of Maryland College Park. His research and teaching is in telecommunications and networking with emphasis on wireless, smart antennas, sensor networks, high-speed networks, and grid computing. He is an Associate Editor for Communication Networks for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and has been an editor for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and also works with OneLab lead partner CERTH.
Dr Tanja Zseby got her diploma in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 1997 and joined FOKUS at Fraunhofer later that year. In December 2005 she received her doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) from the same university. Since October 2005 she has lead the Competence Center (CC) for Network Research that originated from a merger of CCs. She leads many research projects with international partners from industry and academia. Her research interests are novel concepts for protection and management of computer network as well as network analysis and statistical sampling techniques. She is also active in IETF standardization.
Professor Gábor Vattay is full professor and head of the Department of Physics of Complex Systems at Eötvös University in Budapest (ELTE). His research interests include modelling the dynamics of complex systems and interdisciplinary application of statistical physics. He has published one book and about 60 peer-reviewed publications. In 2000 he founded the Communication Networks Laboratory at ELTE, a joint laboratory with ERICSSON Research Sweden, and his research interest shifted towards computer and communication networks. Among other roles, he is the coordinator of the large international project Cooperative Centre for Network Data Analysis.
Professor Luigi Rizzo of the University of Pisa has considerable experience in designing and building efficient and robust networking software and operating systems, including the IPFW2 firewall, the dummynet traffic shaper (used for example in the Emulab project), and a polling-based architecture for network device drivers. He visited the ICIR Centre of the University of Berkeley in autumn 2000, 2001 and 2002, and Intel Research Cambridge in autumn 2003 and 2004 where he helped design and build the first prototype of the CoMo system. He has been a Programme Committee Member for many conferences including Sigcomm, Infocom, NGC, ICNP, Co-Next, NSDI; and General Chair for the NGC'99 and Sigcomm 2006 conferences in Pisa.
