About Me

Martin May received the Master degree in computer science from the University of Mannheim in 1996. In 1999, he received his Ph.D. degree at INRIA Sophia Antipolis from the University of Nice, France. He did most of his thesis work on Internet QoS mechanisms at INRIA, but was also technical staff member of Lucent Bell-Labs Research, Holmdel, USA and Sprintlabs, Burlingame, USA.

Until beginning of 2000, he continued his research as a post-doctoral member of the research staff at Sprintlabs, Burlingame, US. In 2000, he founded a start up company in France where he worked in the field of Content Networking. After selling the company end of 2003, he went back to academia where he joined the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) as a senior research associate. His research interests are in Future Internetworking Architectures and network security. Since 2006, he coordinates a large EU-funded project on Future Internet Technologies with the goal to develop new networking paradigms and node architectures for the Future Internet - the ANA project.

In 2008, Dr. May joined the Thomson Research Lab in Paris where he leads the research activities in mobile networking, wireless home networking, and Future Internet technologies.

Dr. May is a member of the IEEE, ACM and the Internet Society. He is an area editor of ACM Computer Communication Review and the Computer Communication Journal published by Elsevier, has chaired multiple workshops and conferences and also served on technical Program committees for many networking conferences.

My research interests changed over the last 10 years from QoS to:

• future Internet architecture
• delay tolerant networks or wireless ad hoc networking
• wireless home networking
• network monitoring and measurements
