Fellowships

Senior Research Fellow, MONROE FED4FIRE Open Call project. in MEC, we carried out experiments in a real mobile environment with city buses on the efficient synergy of the mobile network edge with nearby cloud deployments achieving ultra-low latency and high bandwidth, while enabling innovative applications. I was responsible for managing the data available. More specifically, I had to normalize and adapt data (>10GB), and change the GPS coordinates to a canvas 100mX100m in order to be used for experimentation. In the second phase, I wrote all the code needed for importing these data in Python.

Senior Research Fellow, NECOS H2020 project: Novel Enablers for Cloud Slicing (NECOS), EU-Brazil Joint H2020 Call EUB-01-2017. We investigate cloud slicing/federation using lightweight clouds; I worked on setting up a JSON machine exchange using Java, to transfer the data produced. (Nov 2017 – Oct 2019).

Senior Research Fellow, CORAL, a WiSHFUL FIRE Open Call project, we experimented with our softwarized IoT platform and protocols in the w-iLab.t testbed and using the FED4FIRE facilities — the WISHFUL demo received the first runner-up eWINE grant challenge award; I was responsible for creating necessary code in Python, Java, and manipulating the data produced by IoT devices.

Senior Research Fellow, UNIC project: We introduced a novel CDN paradigm utilizing lightweight Unikernel-based Virtual Machines (VMs) — the UNIC demo was presented in CNERT Workshop, IEEE INFOCOM in 2019 and received the Best Demo award in the 5th Fed4FIRE Engineering Conference (FEC5), in Copenhagen (April 2019). I was a senior researcher responsible for writing code in Python, and scripts in Ansible. In addition, I was responsible for creating and orchestrating the databases and data manipulation of the Unikernels.
