Resume
Academic Achievements
  • Publications: 'Ensemble SARSA and LSTM for User-centric Handover Decisions in 5G Vehicular Networks' (IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, In Press, 2024); 'MDP-based connectivity and availability models for Internet of Vehicles' (Elsevier Internet of Things, 2023). Book: 'Intelligent Transport System in Smart Cities: Aspects and Challenges of Vehicular Networks and Cloud' (Springer, 2018).
Research Experience
  • Primary research interests involve algorithms and protocols for supporting and enabling large-scale distributed systems, concerning urban computing, intelligent transportation, and PDES. Projects make use of optimization strategies, [meta-]heuristics, and learning algorithms in a distributed setup.
Education
  • Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Ottawa, Canada; M.Sc. in Computer Science from Federal University of Sao Carlos, Brazil; B.Sc. in Computer Science from Federal University of Sao Carlos, Brazil.
Background
  • Research interests include Vehicular Networks, Mobility Management, Handover Management, Traffic Steering, Connectivity stability/intermittency, Intelligence on the Edge, Distributed/Decentralized/Federated learning, IoT/IoV, Dissemination and applications, Performance, Mobile Cloud Computing/Vehicular Clouds, HPC and allocation, Offloading heuristics, Classification and ML, Applications (ITS), Intelligent Transportation Systems.
Miscellany
  • Prospective students interested in pursuing an MSc or conducting an undergraduate research project, especially those sharing similar research interests, are encouraged to get in touch.
