Research

My area of research is Operating Systems and Networking. I am especially interested in security issues in Unix systems and network protocols for ad-hoc and veichular networks.
Other interests include HPC, HA clusters, embedded systems and real-time operating systems.

Students

If you are interested in operating systems and networking (in particular, vehicular ad-hoc networks, VANET) feel free to contact me by email. Please, consider that strong programming skills (mainly in C/C++) and knowledge of computer architectures are often required.

Teaching (Professional)

I work as consultant instructor for an important IT company where I teach courses under the following areas:
    • Networking (basic and advanced levels)
    • Network troubleshooting with Fluke Networks instruments
    • Cisco Systems "Intro" and "Icnd" courses
    • Comptia Network+ Certification Official Training Course
