Dr. David Burth Kurka

I am a Postdoctoral research assistant, currently working on Machine Learning for Communications. Previously, I received a PhD degree from 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ (Intelligent Systems and Networks group), and Eng and MsC degrees from University of Campinas - Brazil.

My current research focus is towards developing machine learning solutions to wireless communication problems. Before that, I investigated different machine learning and artificial intelligence related topics, such as socially inspired computing and multi-agent Systems (PhD), the use of social information for predicting behaviour in social networks and complex systems (master's).

My research interests include Machine Learning, Wireless Communications, Information Theory, Socially Inspired Computing, Multi-Agent Systems, Collective Intelligence, Social Network Analysis and Complex Systems.
