2002 Ph.D. Computer Engineering, University
of Florida, Gainesville, FL
1999 M.Sc. Electrical and Computer Engineering,
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
1995 B.S. Electronics Engineering,
Costa Rica Institute of Technology (ITCR), Costa Rica
Dr.
Hernandez was born in Tegucigalpa,
Honduras. He graduated in 1995 with a B.S in Electronics
Engineering from the Costa Rica Institute of Technology where he developed
hardware/software systems for the main data networking company in the country,
RACSA. Upon graduation, he joined COMTELCA, The Central American Telecommunications
Commission, and was in charge of their Internet effort, and during the period
of 1995-1997 he also became one of the Internet pioneers in Honduras. In 1996, Dr. Hernandez started COMPUNET one of
Honduras
first Internet Service Providers. Later on, in 1997, he was awarded to a Fulbright
Scholarship and moved to Gainesville to start
his MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida.
In 1999, he was admitted to the PhD program in Computer Engineering and under
the direction of Dr. Sumi Helal, he became a researcher at the Harris Mobile
Computing Lab investigating the effects of speed in mobile devices handoff.
His research and efforts developed a hardware/software device called RAMON.
RAMON is a mobility emulator in which developers may test mobility protocols
in realistic emulation environments. As an example, Dr. Hernandez implemented
a predictive Mobile IP protocol to show how proactive registration mechanisms
could improve throughput at different handoff speeds.
Both components became part of his dissertation, publications, and
patents.
Dr.
Hernandez enjoyed his days in Gainesville
combining academic and entrepreneurship activities. In addition to his research,
he was an active member of “The Entrepreneur Club,” participating and wining
several business plan competitions in Gainesville.
Recentrly as an entrepreneur
Edwin has started working on the commercialization of the RAMON Patent thru
Rapid Mobile Technologies, Inc (dba/ RAMOBITECH),
although this effort maybe done in partnership with the University of Florida
and the OTL (See link).
In
2001, Edwin spent a summer at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA.
And, in the period corresponding to 2002-2003 he joined as a full-time employee
working for the Windows Networking Organization. In November 2003, he moved
back to Florida where he joined Motorola as a Senior
Software Engineer. In Motorola, he combines technical leadership, feature
management, as well as with the patent evaluation committee (software)
In
addition to his several academic publications, Dr. Hernandez has submitted
10 patents (with 3 issued) with his different employers including Microsoft,
the University of Florida,
and Motorola, Inc. He also has been
tutor, teacher assistant, instructor, in several University undergraduate/graduate
classes, and conferences.
Since January, Edwin has been working on Google Android at SDK
and platform levels. He will post his findings on his blog. Recently, he was
invited to particilate as part of Honduran scientific and technological community
abroad. In 2007, he was invited to participate in the editorial board for
the International
Journal of Network Management, and is current part of the Technical Committe
for BROADNETS
2008.
As many of his friends, you may find Edwin profile in linked
in. In his spare time, he enjoys reading and playing his electric guitar.
