Presentation

I am an associate professor at the Computer Science department of UiT the Arctic University of Norway, in Tromsø. My research is about the estimation, measurement and optimization of the computing continuum energy consumption. I conduct my research through distributed systems simulation, prototyping and test-bed experiments.

I am part of the Distributed Arctic Observatory (DAO) project. The DAO aims at developing energy efficient distributed systems for the monitoring of the Arctic Tundra. The project covers several research areas such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), network simulations, energy efficiency, distributed systems, machine learning etc.

  Areas of Interest

Research topics

• Network Simulation   Packet-Level and Flow-Level.
• Energy Efficiency   Network communications and algorithms optimization toward energy saving including AI/ML methods.
• Power Monitoring   Power monitoring hardware/software for computer systems.
• Wireless Technologies   Wi-Fi, LoRa, NbIoT etc.

Operating System

• x86 kernels   I am fascinated by Computer Architecture and Operating System development.
  I work on a 32-bits x86 multi-tasking kernel called Bringelle and similar 64-bit kernel called Boucane.
  This work aims to popularize Operating System development by making it accessible to everyone.
  Current online resources are often non-exhaustive enough and do not approach the subject from a complete beginner perspective.

Projects

• Extensible Simulator for Distributed Systems (ESDS)
• Edge testbed at UiT in the CPS group
• OChess and various C++ chess libraries:
  • pgnp an efficient PGN parser
  • chessarbiter that allows to arbitrate chess game in C++
  • uciadapter a cross-platform library to communicate with UCI chess engines in C++
  • cgeditor A dependency-free chess game editor library written in C++
  • chess-move-interface A standard chess half-move (ply) interface for C++ libraries interoperability
