Between April and May 2026, the CMU Portugal Program will launch a brand-new series of talks: “Research Unplugged @CMUPortugal.”
The third session will feature Justine Sherry (CMU) on Wednesday, May 27, at 5 p.m. (Lisbon) / noon (Pittsburgh) via Zoom.
Hosted by National Co-Directors Inês Lynce and João Magalhães, these 30-minute talks feature conversations with faculty and researchers from both sides of the Atlantic. Each session will showcase CMU Portugal’s collaborative initiatives, exploring how cutting-edge research addresses emerging challenges and delivers real-world impact.
Justine Sherry is an Associate Professor at CMU’s School of Computer Science. Her recent research focuses on new opportunities and challenges arising from the deployment of middleboxes — such as firewalls and proxies — as services offered by clouds and ISPs. Her work has earned her the VMware Systems Research Award and the SIGCOMM doctoral dissertation award, among other honors from Google and the NSF. As a key collaborator in the CMU Portugal Program, Justine has served as a Principal Investigator for exploratory projects and mentored both Dual Degree and Affiliated Ph.D. candidates.
The session will be livestreamed on YouTube.
