Kinda Khawam

Associate Professor with Tenure (Maître de Conférences, HDR, Hors Classe, CNU 27) at Paris-Saclay University

ROCS team, LISN laboratory

My current research focuses on radio and energy resource management: scheduling, spectrum allocation, interference management, algorithms and models to enhance performances of mobile networks. 

More specifically, I am interested in (a) distributed methods to allocate resources in novel wireless networks (mainly using game theory and machine learning), (b) design and modeling of 5G wireless networks (O-RAN Slicing, RedCap, etc.) (c) green networking and (d) IoT.

Keywords: Distributed and centralized Radio Resource Management, green networking, game theory, and optimization.
