Biography

Assistant Professor at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥'s Faculty of Information Technology and the University Consortium Chydenius. My ambition is to transform our living spaces into truly intelligent environments through novel cyber-physical systems. My research focuses on innovative software architectures and engineering methodologies, specifically for AI, IoT, and the Cloud-Edge Continuum. Physical hardware and networks also feature prominently in my research. I teach and supervise M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in these fields. 

Research interests

I aim to revolutionize the way we live by integrating cutting-edge cyber-physical systems into our habitats, making them genuinely smart. My scholarly pursuit zeroes in on novel software frameworks and state-of-the-art engineering methods tailored for AI, IoT, and the Cloud-Edge Continuum. My work also extensively delves into the realms of physical hardware and network infrastructures. In the academic setting, I mentor and educate graduate and doctoral candidates within these specialized domains.
