By having US grad students, early career faculty, and research scientists working closely on innovative and transformative research projects with Brazilian counterparts through short-termvisits and face-to-face meetings at workshops the SwitchOn project (NSF Award #<a href=\"http:\/\/nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=1443285&amp;HistoricalAwards=false\" target=\"_blank\">1443285<\/a>) will enhance international collaborations on Future Internet research and development between US and Brazil. The project will leverage the ongoing GENI project in the US and various Brazilian efforts such as FIBRE (Future Internet testbeds\/experimentation between BRazil and Europe) to explore possibilities for new research collaborations. Especially for GENI, there is significant advantage in having both countries collaborate to further establish a global GENI presence capable of connecting researchers, end-users, and all interested stakeholders at international scale through a fully federated infrastructure. Brazilian researchers are also interested in collaborating in research into global SDN networks, a topic of significant interest to the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"240px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-103 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/jasonliu_s.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"107\" \/><strong>PI: Jason Liu<\/strong>, PhD<br \/>\n<em>Associate Professor\u00a0<\/em><em>SICS FIU<\/em><br \/>\nliux at cis dot fiu dot edu<br \/>\n305-348-1625<br \/>\n<a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/users.cis.fiu.edu\/~liux\/liu-vitae.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">View Portfolio<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cis.fiu.edu\/~liux\/\" target=\"_blank\">View Page<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"5px\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: right;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"240px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ciara.fiu.edu\/images\/staff\/julioibarra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"107\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><strong>Co-PI: Julio E.
