Ramon Casellas (Barcelona, 1975) graduated in Telecommunications Engineering in 1999 both from Technical University of Catalonia (UPC, Barcelona) and from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (ENST, Paris, now Telecom Paristech) in the framework of the Erasmus student exchange program (double degree, specialization in Communications (UPC) and Networks and Compute Science (ENST). He completed a PhD degree in Telecommunications in 2002, from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (ENST, Paris) funded by a CTI project with France Telecom Research and Development. He has worked as an undergraduate researcher at France Telecom Research and Development – FT R&D formerly known as Centre Nationale d’Etudes des Télecommunications (Issy les Molineaux, France) and British Telecom Labs (Ipswich, UK).
In 2002, he joined the Networks and Computer Science Department at the ENST as an Associate Professor (Maïtre de Conférences) and, in March 2006, he joined the CTTC Optical Networking Area, where he currently holds a Senior Researcher position. His research interest areas include GMPLS/PCE architecture, Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Traffic Engineering and Distributed control schemes, with applications to Optical and Disaggregated Transport Networks.
Participation in Projects and Industrial Grants
Participation in over 40 R&D projects funded by the European Commission’s Framework Programmes (H2020, FP7, FP6, CELTIC), including leading work-packages related to control plane and SDN (FP7 ICT IP IDEALIST project, H2020 METRO-HAUL), as well as in the Spanish research programmes (Proyecto I+D, Red Temática, CENIT, PROFIT,..).
Participated and led several research grant projects and technology transfer activities with Industry actors (such as Alcatel, Telefónica, KDDI R&D Labs, KDDI Corporation, Huawei or ZTE).
Developed and Transferred control plane software for optical networks (CTTC Path Computation Element, PCE).
Ms.C and Ph.D. advisor
Supervised 1 Ph.D. thesis (CTTC/UPC, 2012, on the topic on GMPLS provisioning in multi-layer networks), and over 17 Ms.C. / PFC (ENST Paris, France, 1999-2005)
Member of 5 Ph.D. thesis committees (2006-2019).
Dissemination, Scientific Publications and Standardization activities
Co-authored 5 book chapters, over 200 international and peer-reviewed journal and conference papers (including over 70 journals ranked in the first quartile Q1, several OFC and ECOC top-scored papers, invited papers and several tutorials) and 1 patent.
Co-authored 6 and contributed to > 10 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request For Comments (RFCs), in the TEAS, PCE and CCAMP Working Groups and several internet drafts ( https://www.arkko.com/tools/allstats/ramoncasellas.html )
