I am a performance engineer and adjunct senior lecturer working with 5G and Internet evolution. I completed my PhD in computer science in 2017 at the Simula Research Lab and Universitetet i Oslo under the supervision of Dr. Ozgu Alay and Prof. Michael Welzl. My PhD dissertation focused on increasing robustness in multipath transport with MPTCP.
My research interests are in network and system measurements, performance analysis, security and congestion control. I am interested in how such networks (e.g. the Internet) evolve – how technologies are developed, adopted and impact different entities – and how security and privacy in general can be harmonised, made more usable and assessed.
I am looking for strong (MSc and PhD) internship candidates. Are you interested? Get in touch!
