Maialen Larrañaga received a Master's Degree in Mathematics in September 2012 from the University of the Basque Country. Her project was developed in BCAM in collaboration with INGETEAM S.A. In September 2015 she obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institute National Polytechnique (INP) de Toulouse and University of the Basque Country. The thesis was carried out in CNRS, LAAS and INP-ENSEEIHT under the supervision of Urtzi Ayesta (CNRS, LAAS) and Ina Maria Verloop (CNRS, IRIT) with a Fondation AIRBUS Group scholarship. Her Ph.D. thesis has been awarded with the Prix Paul Sabatier 2016, Takacs runner-up Award 2016 and the Prix Leopold Escande 2015. Since October 2015 she is a post-doc in CentraleSupélec.
Her main research interests are: optimal control theory, dynamic programming, stochastic processes, scaling methods, with applications into communication networks.
