Short Bio:
Muriel Figueredo Franco is a Research Assistant and Ph.D. candidate in Informatics under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Stiller at the University of Zürich UZH, Switzerland, within the Communication Systems Group CSG of the Department of Informatics IfI. Since September 2018, Muriel is working in Zürich on cybersecurity, economics, blockchains, Software-defined Networking (SDN), and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), participating and driving the work of the Concordia project's Task 4.3 (Cybersecurity Economics) within a team of networking, security, and economic researchers. Muriel holds an M.Sc. (2017) in Computer Science from the Federal University of the Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lisandro Granville and obtained a B.Sc. (2014) in Computer Science from the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPEL), Brazil.
