Baccelli obtained his PhD at the University of Paris-Sud in 1983 under the supervision of Erol Gelenbe.
He was Simons Chair in mathematics and electrical and computer engineering at University of Texas at Austin between 2012 and 2021.
Baccelli's research is at the interface between mathematics (probability theory, stochastic geometry, dynamical systems) and communications (information theory, wireless networks, network science).
He received an honorary doctorate of Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, in 2016, the ACM Sigmetrics Achievement Award, in 2014, and the Grand Prix France Telecom, of the French Academy of Sciences in 2002.
