About

My name is Diogo Gomes and I’m a Lecturer (Professor Assistente Convidado) at the Department of Electronics Telecommunications and Informatics of the Universidade de Aveiro. I’m a Computer and Telematics Engineer with a Phd on Electrotechnic Engineering at the same university. My teaching activities are on Network related courses such as «Advanced Network Architectures», «Network Architectures», «Wireless Networks» and «Packet Switching».

I’m also a researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações of Aveiro in the Heterogeneous Network Research Group. I’m currently involved in IST-C-Cast a project whose main objective is to evolve mobile multimedia multicasting to exploit the increasing integration of mobile devices with our everyday physical world and environment. In the past I’ve participated in IST-Daidalos, a European Project working in future Next Generation Networks. In this project my work was mostly related to network architecture, L3 QoS support in Multicast/Broadcast environments.

I’ve also participated in the European Project named C-Mobile whose work relates to developments in 3GPP MBMS. Other past projects include IST-Mobydick and IST-Akogrimo.

My main interests relate to the Context Management Architectures and Services, Mobile Applications and Telecom Services. During my years as a undergrad student, I helped in the creation of the University Linux User Group (GLUA – Grupo Linux Universidade de Aveiro), in which I still ocasionaly colaborate.

In my free time (when I have some), I spend it mostly sightseeing with my wife around Portugal. As a hobby I enjoy to fool around with R/C models and lesser often I do some MTB with my brother.
