Dr. ir. Marcela Tuler de Oliveira is an Assistant Professor in Trustworthy Data Systems at the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management (TPM), Delft University of Technology (TU Delft. She holds a background in Telecommunications Engineering, and her career path has focused on building robust and secure digital protocols for cross-organizational data sharing. Combining foundational principles of distributed systems with emerging technologies, Dr. Tuler de Oliveira advocates for solutions that strike a careful balance between security, scalability, and performance.
Her core research revolves around using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts to ensure data traceability, transparency, and accountability. Throughout her career, she has participated in projects to enable trustworthy data transfers across diverse sectors. By leveraging blockchain-based frameworks, she underlines the importance of data integrity and resilience in the face of global compliance challenges.
Within the ExtremeXP project, Marcela leads strategic efforts in both WP2 and WP5. In Task 2.3, she champions traceability and trustworthiness for experiment-driven analytics, constructing a decentralized access control mechanism that integrates immutable policies and transparent logging. She also advances context-aware access control (T5.4) and secure, decentralized data management (T5.5), ensuring that organizations can collaborate seamlessly while adhering to stringent data protection standards.
Her contributions play an important role in the ExtremeXP platform by empowering organizations to securely handle large-scale data analytics tasks. By embedding transparency and accountability into every stage of the data lifecycle, Marcela's contribution significantly reduces the risks of unauthorized access and data misuse. Ultimately, her work underpins the project’s mission to foster trustworthiness in experiment-driven analytics, demonstrating how robust governance models and cutting-edge technology can collectively transform the future of data-intensive innovation.
