Research Interests: I'm interested in all areas of information theory and related fields. In particular in multi-user systems.
Most of my previous research activities were related to one of the following topics:
  • Communication over networks with feedback, state-information, cooperation links,s correlated sources, or caches.
  • Coordination of smart distributed agents over noisy networks.
  • Distributed compression and storage systems.
  • Distributed computing systems.
  • Distributed detection systems (hypothesis testing).
  • Free-space optical communication.
  • Integrated sensing and communication systems (ISAC) For more information about my research, please consider my publications and presentations.

  • Bio: Michèle Wigger has been a full professor at CentraleSupélec, University of Paris Saclay, since February 2026. She is an IEEE Fellow and was awarded the “Prix Michel Monpetit” jointly by INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique) and the French Academy of Sciences. Her research has been supported by several industrial and public grants, including ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants. From 2009 to 2026, she was with Télécom Paris, first as an Associate Professor and later as a Full Professor. She has also held visiting professor appointments at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, the University of Zurich, and ETH Zurich. In 2009, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego, after obtaining her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from ETH Zurich, for which she received two ETH Medals. Dr. Wigger has served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and IEEE Communications Letters. She has also been a co-lead Guest Editor for a special issue on sensing in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information Theory. She was a TPC Co-Chair of ISIT 2025 and has contributed to several committees of the IEEE Information Theory Society, including its Board of Governors.
    PostDoc positions are available in my group. Please contact me via email.
