Career Profile
I’m currently a Computer Science PhD student at Unicamp, Campinas, Brazil. My research field is computer networks. My main areas of interest are: Software Defined Network (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), 4G/5G networks, Network Slicing and Multi-Stream transport protocols.
I have a strong background in computer networks, having more than 8 years of experience on them. I passed the CCNA exam in 2012 and was the vice champion of a computer network marathon in 2013. I have been working with SDN for around 7 years, developing solutions for all planes composing the SDN architecture.
Education
I’m currently developing mechanisms to realize Network Slicing in LTE Networks, in the E-UTRAN and EPC. Such networks will be employed as a base for future 5G mobile systems. Furthermore, these proposed mechanisms should use more efficiently the LTE network resources.
I extended an SDN Controller, enabling it to gather network metrics (e.g. delay, throughput). Based on these metrics, the Controller pushes forwarding rules into the OpenFlow switches in order to send network traffic over multiple paths, targeting to improve the end users’ QoS experience.
During this bachelor course, I learned the Computer Science theorical background and also had several programming courses. I started researching about Computer Networks during this course, focusing more on SDN.
Experiences
I was a visiting researcher working under the supervision of Prof. Roch Glitho. We developed a mechanism to split multi-stream traffic over multiple paths in an OpenFlow network. The mechanism was published in a good conference.
During my internship, I worked with php, shell script, SNMP protocol, apache and tomcat servers, digital certificates and Shibboleth (a logging-in system for Internet).
