I’m a research associate and third year PhD student at TU Berlin, working in the research group on Distributed and Operating Systems (DOS) by Prof. Odej Kao. Before that, I’ve worked as a Software and Data Engineer at different companies in Berlin.
My research focus is on carbon-aware computing: Aligning the power consumption of computing systems with the availability of renewable energy.
Besides that, I’m interested in research on systems for machine learning as well as the co-simulation and testing of computing and energy systems.Find me on

- February 2022: This month my Software Campus project on synergies between distributed power generation and edge intelligence starts in collaboration wiuth Huawei. I’ll be leading this project over the next two years.
- Synergy, a project on sustainable edge intelligence in collaboration with Huawei. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as Software Campus who provide additional funding for a two year research project and mentoring/training for doctoral candidates.
- ide3a, an international and multidisciplinary teaching and research project financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Within this project we give lectures and organize hackathons on critical urban infrastructures, smart sensing, and smart cities. Furthermore, we are developing a serious game connecting different simulators of different sectors for research and educational purposes.
- ARM, a joint effort by researchers from TU Berlin and the University of Glasgow focusing on adaptive resource management for data-intensive applications in distributed computing environments.
- diselab, a joint effort by researchers from TU Berlin and Hasso Platner Institute on the dependability and efficiency of critical applications in the Internet of Things.
