About Me

I am a researcher interested in applied research in IoT systems engineering, with background experience in the operations of underwater autonomous sensor systems for various application domains.

The Internet-of-Things (IoT): The number of deployed devices that operate autonomously in uncontrolled environments increased drastically in recent years. My research focuses on systems enabled by these devices, also known as IoT.

More specificaly, my work is centered on the integration of IoT systems for seamless control and data provision in various operational scenarios at sea and currently expanding to space domain applications.

In parallel, I have accumulated experience in science outreach and communication enganing with distinct audiences that range from teenagers to the scientific community and industry technology managers (more details can be found here).

Research Interests

  • Software Engineering for IoT
  • Interoperability in IoT (Syntactic and Semantic)
  • Data Flow and Quality in SDLC

Institutes and Research Groups

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Space It UP! project at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in Italy.

I did my PhD at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL), Bergen, Norway as part of the Software Engineering Group and the Centre for research-based innovation (SFI) Smart Ocean. I was supervised by Rogardt Heldal and Tosin Daniel Oyetoyan.

Previously, I was a researcher at Underwater Systems and Technology Laboratory (LSTS @ FEUP) - University of Porto and Institute of Systems and Robotics (ISR – Porto) in Porto, Portugal.
