I am currently a Professor at the Institute of Computing - University of Campinas. My research interests are on aspects of distributed systems and computer networks, mainly in scheduling in grid/cloud computing systems and their underlying network infrastructure. I am also interested in virtualization, future internet, green computing, and access networks.

After receiveing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Departament of Informatics at the Federal University of Parana, I have carried out research on workflow scheduling in grids and clouds during my Masters, Ph.D., and Post-doc at the Univesity of Campinas, as well as during my research period at the School of Computer Science - University of Manchester.
