News

Jul '24 - Happy to announce that we are now collaborating with Internet Society (ISOC) to evaluate the network benefits of connecting to IXPs!

Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at C3 - Center for Computational Science, at FURG - Federal University of Rio Grande. I got a Ph.D. in Computer Science at UFRGS (2019) working under the supervision of professors Marinho Barcellos and Marco Canini (KAUST). After completing my Ph.D., I was a Visiting Researcher at the Internet Architecture group from the Max Plack Institute for Informatics working under the supervision of professor Anja Feldamnn. I also hold a master degree in Computer Science by UFRGS (2013), under the supervision of professor Claudio Geyer, and a bachelor degree in Computer Engineering by FURG (2010).

Research

My research interests lie at the crossroads of theory and practice of computer networks. I am mainly interested in measuring and analyzing aspects related to the Internet interconnection/peering ecosystem and inter-domain routing. My current research topics include inbound traffic engineering techniques; Internet routing security; remote peering; BGP communities and best routing operational practices. My research has been funded by University grants, LACNIC/FRIDA, Internet Society, FAPESP/MCTI/MCom/CGI.br, Embrapii, and CNPq.
