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.

Characterizing the Mobile Demand Footprint of Large Public Protests

How large-scale public protests leave a measurable footprint on mobile network traffic — and how aggregated data can reconstruct protest dynamics while preserving privacy.
