About Me

I am an Assistant Professor (tenured) in the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Previously, I worked as a Postdoc Researcher in the Distributed & Parallel Systems (DPS) Group at the Institute for Informatics, Universität Klagenfurt (AAU), Austria.

My research interests span the concepts of resource and data management, application scheduling and placement, performance modelling, optimisation and observability in large-scale hybrid distributed systems (e.g. Cloud, Edge, Quantum). Recently, I have also developed an interest in ML training and inference workload scheduling and applications of learning paradigm (e.g. causal performance attribution, performance diagnosis, prognosis and prediction) across the Cloud-Edge Continuum.

In the past, I was associated to multiple EU H2020 projects in various roles (i.e. Scientific Coordinator, WP Leader, Researcher). Currently, I also serve as an Associate Editor for Springer’s Journal of Cloud Computing, editorial board and steering committee member for Springer’s book series and conference on frontiers of AI and program committee member in various conferences and workshops. Currently, I am also a member of IBM’s working committee on HPC-Quantum integration and particularly focus on workload and runtime management in such hybrid systems from middleware perspective.
