Head of the Green Distributed Computing group, I'm interested in energy efficient and sustainable distributed systems, with a current focus on Cloud-Edge, Edge Intelligence, and Data Centres! See my personal website.

I am Scientific Coordinator of the Horizon Europe COGNIT project, Co-Manager and Scientific Advisor of the WASP WARA-Ops research area, and a member of the WASP Graduate School Management team. I am also a Research Leader within the Autonomous Distributed Systems lab and a member of the Department’s Committee for Research (CORE).

I supervise 5 PhD students and 2 post-docs, and I coordinate and teach the Level 5 Cloud Computing course. My Google Scholar information is here.
