Biography

He is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the Division of Network and Systems Engineering. He has served as the Secretary for the Full-Duplex and Self-Interference Cancellation Emerging Technologies Initiatives (FD-ETI) between 2018-2021. He gave several tutorials on “Wireless for Machine Learning” at several flagship conferences sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, such as IEEE ICASSP’21, IEEE PIMRC’21, IEEE GLOBECOM’21, IEEE ICC’22, and IEEE GLOBECOM’22.

He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, in April 2019 under the supervision of Carlo Fischione and Gábor Fodor. He received the BSc (with honors) and MSc degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, Brazil, in 2012 and 2014, respectively. He worked as a research engineer at the Wireless Telecommunication Research Group (GTEL) in Fortaleza from July 2012 to March 2015. During the autumn/winter of 2013-2014, he worked in an internship at Ericsson Research in Stockholm, Sweden. During the Spring/Fall 2018, he was a visiting researcher at Rice University in Houston, Texas, USA. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology from April 2019 to April 2022. During the Spring 2022, he was a Visiting Researcher Fellow with Princeton University, USA.
