Short Bio

Hi 👋 My name is Alonso Silva and I’m a Senior Researcher on Generative AI at Nokia Bell Labs.

I received my Ph.D. in Physics from the École Supérieure d’Électricité (Supélec) in 2010. I did my Ph.D. at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis under the direction of Professor Eitan Altman. Prior to my Ph.D., I received my Mathematical Engineering degree from the Department of Mathematical Engineering (DIM) at the Universidad de Chile in 2006. I have previously worked as a Researcher at Safran from September 2018 to September 2022, a Researcher at Bell Labs from September 2012 to August 2018, Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of EECS at the University of California, Berkeley, from September 2011 to August 2012 at INRIA Paris Rocquencourt from September 2010 to August 2011 and as Reseach Consultant/Intern at Bell Labs Headquarters in New Jersey from March to May 2010. I have received the Best Paper Award at IEEE SmartGridComm’17, UNet’17, the Second Best Paper Award at MSN’11 and the Best Student Paper Award at Valuetools’08.
