Director of Experimental Infrastructures, Digital Transformation, Open Science & Corporate Cybersecurity
He graduated in Telecommunication Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC, July 2004) and got his Ph.D. (UPC, February 2009). He has participated in several national and international research projects, dealing with network virtualization, management and orchestration. His current interests are focused on the Recursive Internetwork Architecture (RINA), a fundamental new internetwork architecture that radically simplifies networking. He has been the technical lead of the FP7 IRATI project, where a RINA Prototype for Linux over Ethernet was developed; the technical lead of the FP7 PRISTINE project, investigating the programmability and distributed management aspects of RINA; and the technical lead of the H2020 ARCFIRE project, carrying out RINA experimentation activities on the FIRE infrastructure.
