We welcome new members at all academic stages, from BSc students to postdoctoral researchers. Our research focuses on advancing computing systems by enhancing performance, availability, reliability, cost-efficiency, power consumption, and runtime operations. Areas of interest include Serverless Computing, Machine Learning Systems, Microservice Platforms, Cyber-Physical Systems, Cloud Software Systems, Operating Systems, and Distributed Ledgers. Our approach combines mathematical modelling with large-scale cloud experimentation, and we frequently develop proofs-of-concept and prototypes. Industrial experience is a valuable plus, though not required.
