"Cloud computing and its emerging areas such as edge computing and network function virtualisation are amongst the most influential aspects of our ever increasing computerised life. Hence, its efficient operation is of utmost importance. My research areas are to optimise various aspects of such highly dynamic systems. Both ICT providers and ICT users will benefit from optimising these services."
   
Even though it is hectic to work as a professor, sometimes you have to have some free time as well.

"When living in Sydney I used to scuba-dive, but after migrating to Sweden, it’s all about movies."
