Summary

Alpha Diallo was a Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Lausanne. He received his PhD in Information Systems in 2025. The title of his thesis was Classifying, improving and evaluating Indoor Tracking Systems (PDF available here) He joined the Distributed Object Programming Lab (DOPLab) in 2020 after doing his master’s thesis on indoor tracking systems under the supervision of Professor Benoît Garbinato. At the DOPLab, his research focused on Indoor Tracking Systems.

Prior to that, he worked as a consultant for the Private Investment Promotion Agency under a World Bank project (IDA H 8670). During his mandate, he led the development of a national portal of Investment for the Republic of Guinea and mapping the Guinean private sector.
