I'm Nildo. I am a student living in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I am doing my Master's in Computer Science, at UFMG. I am advised by professor Marcos Vieira. My research is in the area of Computer Networks and Embedded Systems. I am working on communication protocols for wireless cyber-physical systems. I have worked with protocols for multi-radio wireless sensor platforms. And I developed a dissemination protocol using a technique called Network Coding, which we published at the European Wireless Sensor Networks Conference, in 2014.
I studied for one year at the University of California at Berkeley, in the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters. I was participating in the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program as a fully-funded scholarship recipient. In the Summer of 2014 I did an internship at Tarana Wireless, where I developed software for a new generation of wireless transport solution and designed and developed hardware tests on a embedded system's boot loader.
After I finish my Master's, I am planning on getting into a PhD program outside Brazil. I want to get even more experience with different education systems. After my PhD, I want to become a good professor. I like creating new things, and I really like teaching. So, it will be a perfect career for me.
