Albert Gran Alcoz
I am a last-year PhD student in the Networked Systems Group lead by Prof. Dr. Laurent Vanbever. My research interests are Network Programmability and Security. Part of my work is funded by armasuisse and the Zurich Information Security & Privacy Center (ZISC).
I am currently visiting the Berkeley NetSys Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Sylvia Ratnasamy and Prof. Dr. Scott Shenker.
Prior to joining ETH Zürich, I received a Master’s Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (2018) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and Telecommunication Technologies Engineering (2016), both from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain.
From February 2016 to July 2016, I was a visiting researcher at the Broadband Wireless Networking Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ian F. Akyildiz, working on Network Virtualization for 5G Software-Defined Cellular Systems. I have also combined my theoretical basis with industry projects for organizations like CERN (2015), Imagine Creativity Center (2016) and IBM (2017).
