In this talk, I will start by introducing myself. Then, I will present my research background.

I will briefly introduce my past research activities from the energy-efficiency in wired and wireless networks to the dependability of Software-Defined Networks and Network Function Virtualization. Finally, I will present my current and future research activities on orchestration in software-defined 5G networks and smart cities. The goal of this talk is to let you know about my research activity and possibly identify common research interests.
