Ismail is a senior researcher in the department, and Antoine is an associate professor in Télécom Paris.

ICDT 2020 was originally planned to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark between 30th of March — 2nd of April 2020, but has been turned into an online event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the award was given as part of the online conference.
