Director
Aloizio Da Silva
DaSilva's primary area of research is in wireless networking communication, focusing on NFV, SDN, and SDR on large-scale testbed experimentation, as well as radio access networks and core networks. DaSilva is also research faculty at the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech.
Post-Doc Researchers
- Madhura Adeppady
- Focuses on efficient orchestration of microservices in edge computing, with an emphasis on interference-aware placement, dynamic resource allocation, and serverless computing. I aim to optimize latency, energy use, and resource utilization through intelligent scheduling and deployment strategies.
