A pesquisadora cientista da NETFLIX Renata Teixeira, estará no Brasil em poucos dias e a convidamos para dar uma palestra no PESC. Para quem não a conhece Renata fez o mestrado na COPPE, o doutorado nos EUA, e foi pesquisadora da Sorbonne e de Stanford, dentre outras. Colabora com pesquisadores Brasileiros há muitos anos.

Não perca a oportunidade de assistir a palestra sobre um tópico muito "quente" e conversar com ela após a palestra. Excelente oportunidade para que alunos de Computação conheçam problemas de pesquisas atuais e aplicados na Netflix.

Por favor espalhe para os colegas da graduação além da pós-graduação.

Data: 17/12/2025, quarta-feira, às 11 horas
Sala: No PESC (a ser divulgada)

Title: Low Orbit, High Impact: What We’ve Learned for Netflix Streaming over LEO

Abstract:
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Networks bring broadband to new places—and new challenges to streaming. Netflix measurements from millions of households in 147 countries show that LEO now represents a meaningful share of global streaming traffic. Overall quality can match terrestrial access, yet rapid throughput swings and packet‑loss bursts increase bitrate switches and stall risk. We characterize these effects and LEO’s growing role in video delivery, map the tradeoffs for transport and adaptive bitrate algorithms, and outline priorities for future work on Low Earth Orbit streaming.
This talk builds on our SIGMETRICS 2025 study, “A Global Perspective on the Past, Present, and Future of Video Streaming over Starlink” (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3726854.3727268), in collaboration with Liz Izhikevich (UCLA), Reese Enghardt (Netflix), and Te‑Yuan Huang (Netflix).

Bio: 
Renata Teixeira is a Staff Research Scientist on the Streaming Algorithms team at Netflix. She earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego in 2005, conducting research on Internet routing at AT&T Research. From 2006 to 2013 she was a researcher at CNRS/LIP6 (UPMC Sorbonne Universités) in Paris, and from 2013 to 2020 a Director of Research at Inria Paris. She was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley/ICSI (2011) and Stanford University (2018–2020). Her work focuses on quality of experience and the measurement, analysis, and management of data networks. She is an ACM Distinguished Member, received the ACM IMC Test of Time Award in 2022 for Paris traceroute, and was recognized in 2017 as an N2Women “Star in Computer Networking and Communications.”
