About
Gentian Jakllari was born in Skrapar, Albania. After graduating from Petro Nini Luarasi high school in Tirana, Albania he moved to Greece where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Ioannina in 2002. In 2003 he moved to the USA where he obtained the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of California, Riverside in 2005 and 2007, respectively. In 2017 he obtained the HDR from Toulouse INP, France.
From 2007 to 2011 he was a scientist at the Internetworking Research Department at BBN Technologies in Cambridge, MA, USA. In 2011 he joined Toulouse INP–ENSEEIHT where he is now a Professor of Computer Science and Telecommunications. He holds a joint appointment with the Toulouse Institute for Computer Science Research (IRIT) where he is the head of RMESS team.
Research
My research interests are in computer networks and ubiquitous computing with applications to gigabit wireless networks, 5G-and-Beyond networks, mobile health, IoT, smart environments, indoor localization, intelligent parking, etc.
