1. David Khvedelidze
   • Title: Session-Preserving UPF Scaling with a Customized Open5GS 5G Core
   • Bio: His internship focuses on developing a cloud-native 5G core capable of dynamically adding and removing User Plane Functions (UPFs) without disconnecting active users. His main responsibility is the design and implementation of the core-network scaling workflow. He customized Open5GS, particularly the Session Management Function (SMF), to provide real-time UPF and PDU-session information, administrative UPF draining, and controlled live-session migration. He also developed the Kubernetes-based UPF orchestration and validation components, integrated the system with OpenAirInterface, and ensured that routing and user traffic remain consistent during migration.
