Plínio Santini Dester

Graduated as the top of the class in Electrical Engineering from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), he was also one of the ten students with the highest Academic Performance Index in the history of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC). Completed the Dual Degree Program with the renowned École Polytechnique, ranked among the top 50 universities in the world by the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR), earning the titles of Ingénieur Polytechnicien and Master. Throughout his academic journey, he was awarded the prestigious Bourse dExcellence Eiffel scholarship and stood out for his work in mathematical modeling, optimization, and simulations, during internships at the National Center for Energy and Materials Research (CNPEM), ORANGE France, and in the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA). His research also encompassed Queueing Theory, making a contribution to the classic Join the Shortest Queue (JSQ). With a direct Ph.D. funded by FAPESP, he deepened his studies in Electrical Engineering at UNICAMP, exploring space-time traffic modeling in interference-limited wireless networks, with relevance to various large-scale network scenarios. Also holds experience as a professor at different institutions and is currently engaged in the Brazil 6G project, focusing on stochastic geometry and cell-free networks to contribute to the next generation of wireless communication technologies.
