Andre F. Zanella

I’m Andre, a Researcher, Engineer, and Data Scientist making a fruit salad out of these themes. I mainly enjoy transforming internet and network measurements into interesting tools and insights.

I’m currently a Research Scientist at Telefónica Innovación Digital, where my focus is on creating tools that transform large-scale network measurements into useful insights for both the MNO, as well as parties interested in the cool stuff you can do with mobile networks data.

Background

I received my PhD in Telematics Engineering from UC3M, and my Masters and Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from UFPR.

Throughout my PhD, I worked as a Research Assistant at IMDEA Networks (quite the cool place, highly recommend) at the Networks Data Science Group, under the supervision of Dr. Marco Fiore.

I was also a part of the Group of Integrated Circuits and Systems (GICS) at UFPR during my Masters and Undergrad, under the supervision of Dr. Eduardo Gonçalves de Lima.
