"Information is the resolution of uncertainty." - Claude Shannon
My background combines the fundamentals from Applied Mathematics with the technological perspective from Computer Science and Network Engineering, with special focus in coding techniques for delay sensitive applications over wireless networks. My work has found application in wireless broadcast of real-time data, which was demonstrated through the construction of a wireless testbed for live video broadcast.
I was awarded the Doctoral Scholarship from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology and I am conducting my Ph.D. research at Instituto de Telecomunicações and Universidade do Porto. My advisor is Prof. João Barros. During my Ph.D., I held a visiting appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and I did an internship at DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Munich.
I received my Licenciatura degree (undergraduate education) in Applied Mathematics, where I was the best student in the 2006 class, and a Masters degree in Informatics, branch of Systems and Networks, both from Universidade do Porto, Portugal.
