Short Bio:

I am a Junior Researcher and Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science 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, I am 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. Besides that, from 2017 to 2020, I was part of a work team to develop and implant a federated ecosystem for offering, distributing and execution of Virtual Network Func­tions (FENDE project). At UZH, I am also a Teaching Assistant for the “Mobile Com­mu­nication Systems” and "Protocols for Multimedia Communications" classes. I hold an M.Sc. (2017) in Computer Science from the Federal Uni­ver­sity of the Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil and obtained a B.Sc. (2014) in Computer Science from the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPEL), Brazil. I am also member of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

My research interests include Network Virtualization, Cybersecurity, Information Visualization, Blockchain, and Internet Economics. However, I am passionate about any innovative and disruptive project where technology plays an important role.
