Education

Murilo Coutinho received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Military Institute of Engineering (IME), Brazil, in 1990. Two years later he received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering - Control Systems from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. In 1992, Murilo was awarded a scholarship from the Ministry for Science and Technology of Brazil (CNPq) to pursue his Ph.D. degree. Murilo received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering -- Control Systems and another M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, under the advisement of Prof. Edmund Jonckheere and Prof. Doug Ierardi, respectively. Murilo worked as a Project Leader at the Distributed Scalable Systems Division at USC/Information Sciences Institute, leaving ISI on June 29th, 2000.
