Summary
André Gomes is an assistant professor and wireless network researcher with nine years of experience designing and evaluating resilient, ultra-reliable wireless systems. He specializes in URLLC, meta distributions, extreme value theory, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, Open RAN, software-defined radios, and applied machine learning to make networks robust against failures, attacks, and disasters. His path spans academia and industry—from PhD work at Virginia Tech and graduate research in Brazil and Ireland to a postdoc at the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative and an AT&T Labs internship—bridging theoretical rigor with hands-on prototyping. Based in Philadelphia, he combines deep statistical methods with practical SDR and Open RAN implementations, a mix that helps translate extreme-value analyses into real-world reliability improvements.
