I am a Wireless Systems Engineer in the Reality Labs group of Meta Platforms, an organization focused on building tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. In this role, I am responsible for the standardization and certification of wireless connectivity technologies. I also serve as the Technical Editor of IEEE 802.11bf (WLAN Sensing), a task group currently developing an IEEE 802.11 amendment that enhances Wi-Fi sensing technology, and as an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer for the 2022-2023 term.

Before joining Meta Platforms, I was with the Next Generation & Standards group of Intel Corporation, where I was responsible for driving technology and product innovation by leading and contributing to various standardization, certification, and regulatory activities. During my tenure at Intel, I served as the Technical Editor of Wi-Fi Alliance's 60 GHz TTG from 2019 to 2021. Before Intel, I worked on cellular modem implementation and applied research at Samsung Mobile Solutions Lab. The first years of my professional career were spent at Virginia Tech, where I was an Assistant Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the State University of Campinas, Brazil, in 1999 and 2001, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California, San Diego in 2005, all in electrical engineering.  I was an Editor for Modulation and Signal Design for the IEEE Transactions on Communications from 2012 to 2015, and I am currently serving as a Guest Editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine.  For the 2022-2023 term, I am serving on IEEE ComSoc’s Standardization Programs Development Board and Industry Outreach Board.  I have served on the technical program committee of numerous IEEE conferences in the communications area. I am a senior member of the IEEE.
