I am a Principal Engineer at MediaTek, responsible for the standardization and certification of wireless connectivity technologies. I work alongside a talented and dedicated team active in IEEE 802.11 and the Wi-Fi Alliance.
I currently serve as the Technical Editor for IEEE 802.11bf (WLAN Sensing), a task group developing an amendment to enhance Wi-Fi sensing.
Prior to joining MediaTek, I worked in the Reality Labs group at Meta Platforms and previously in the Next Generation & Standards group at Intel Corporation. At both companies, I was responsible for driving technology and product innovation through leadership and contributions to standardization, certification, and regulatory initiatives. Earlier in my career, I contributed to cellular modem implementation and applied research at Samsung’s Mobile Solutions Lab. I began my professional journey as an Assistant Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech.
I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Campinas, Brazil, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, San Diego, in 2005. From 2012 to 2015, I served as an Editor for Modulation and Signal Design for the IEEE Transactions on Communications and was an IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecturer for the 2022–2023 term. I am a Senior Member of the IEEE.
