Diogo Gomes

Associate Professor teaching at the University of Aveiro and senior researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações.

I'm a professor, researcher, open source advocate, hacker, and maker from Aveiro. I studied Computer and Telematics Engineering at the University of Aveiro, later completed a PhD in Telecommunications, and have stayed close to the place where I learned my craft. My work connects computer networks, 5G/6G application platforms, edge computing, IoT, and machine learning, usually through prototypes built with students, researchers, and industry partners. I coordinated H2020-5GASP, contributed to projects such as 5GinFIRE, and collaborate with communities including ETSI OpenSlice, Home Assistant, and GLUA. I am especially interested in using technology, education, and open collaboration to help Aveiro grow as a more creative, capable, and connected region.

Research

My work sits between networked systems, software services, and applied AI. At the University of Aveiro I teach courses in computer networks, distributed computing, service engineering, and artificial intelligence; at Instituto de Telecomunicações I work with the Advanced Telecommunications and Networks Group on practical research prototypes and demonstrators.

Writing

I keep two kinds of writing here. The blog is where the looser ramblings live: notes on technology, gadgets, teaching, programming, research work, and whatever useful detour survived the archive. The clipping section gathers more structured opinion pieces, where academia, technology, and politics often meet, especially around Aveiro and local public life.

Projects and Open Source

Open source has been part of my life since helping found GLUA, the University of Aveiro Linux User Group. I contribute to and maintain projects around network services, automation, and home infrastructure, and I keep most personal experiments and tools openly available on GitHub.
