Bochra Boughzala, MSc

PhD Student

About Me

I joined the Distributed Systems research group at the University of Groningen in Feb. 2021, where I am currently a PhD student and teaching assistant at the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. My research interests evolved around computer networks, software-defined networking, packet processing for switching and routing, programmable data planes, P4 programming language and more recently distributed systems, middleware and complex event processing.

Prior to joining University of Groningen, I was a Software Designer at Kaloom Inc, Montreal and before that an Experienced Researcher at Ericsson Research Montreal, Canada. I received my M.Sc. (2013) in Computer Science from UQAM (University of Quebec in Montreal). Before that, I completed my Engineering degree in Computer Networks (2010) at the National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (INSAT), Tunis, Tunisia.
