Edgar Costa Molero

I am a final-year year PhD student in the Networked Systems Group lead by Prof. Dr. Laurent Vanbever. My research focuses on the management and development of the next generation of networks using programable devices. In the past I worked on traffic engineering and anomaly detection in both legacy and SDN-based datacenter networks.

Before starting my PhD, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Information and Communication Technology from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain, and then a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from ETH Zürich.
