About the Contributors xxiii
Javid Taheri received his Bachelor and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering from
the Sharif University of Technology in 1998 and 2000, respectively. He received his PhD
in the field of Mobile Computing from the School of Information Technologies at the
University of Sydney, Australia. He is currently working as Associate Professor in the
Department of Computer Science in Karlstad University, Sweden.
Jesus Llorente Santos is a doctoral student at the Department of Communication and
Networking of Aalto University, Finland. His research focuses on mobile networks,
software defined networking (SDN) and future internet architectures.
João André obtained his Diploma in Civil Engineering and his MSc in Structural
Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico (part of University of Lisbon), and his
PhD in Structural Engineering from Oxford Brookes University. He worked as a
Professor for two years in the Universidade Lusófona, teaching courses on steel and
reinforced concrete structures. He has been working in the Structures Department of
the Portuguese National Laboratory Civil Engineering (LNEC) since 2005, where he
currently serves as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. He has published over 30 papers
over a wide range of subjects, ranging from numerical and experimental analyses,
robustness and risk analyses. He was appointed a member of the project team responsible for defining the “Robustness Framework” for the revision of the European
Structural Eurocodes and he is the National Expert of WG6 of CEN/TC250. He is currently working in two European COST Action research projects concerning communication and bridge structures.
Jude Okwuibe received his BSc in Telecommunications and Wireless Technologies
from the American University of Nigeria, Yola, in 2011. After graduation, he worked as
a recruitment specialist with the American University of Nigeria for about a year before
going for one year’s National Service where he served as an assistant instructor teaching
computer science. In 2015, Okwuibe received his Master’s degree in Wireless
Communications Engineering from the University of Oulu, Finland. Okwuibe is currently doing a doctoral program in Communications Engineering at the University of
Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS), Finland. His research interests are 5G and future
networks, IoT, SDN, Network security, and biometric verifications.
Jukka Salo received his MSc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Oulu in 1976,
and joined Nokia Corporation in 1977, where he since then until the retirement in late
2016 held different positions in the research and product development of Nokia’s
network systems. In 2008-2012, Jukka Salo was a Steering Board member in a Finnish
Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the Field of ICT (TIVIT). In
2008–2016, he was Nokia’s representative in the Celtic (EUREKA cluster) Core Group
and the Vice‐chairman of Celtic. Celtic is an industry‐driven European research initiative to define, perform and finance through public and private funding common research
projects in the area of telecommunications. Jukka Salo was also involved in Policies,
Governance and Regulation related research work in several international projects,
including 4WARD (EU FP7), SAIL (EU FP7), MEVICO (EUREKA Celtic) and SIGMONA
(EUREKA Celtic).
