Current Teaching

I have been the convenor for two PG modules (taught to a mixed cohort from 3 different MSc programmes) and one UG module, all for which I have consistently received positive feedback. I have also re-designed a new PG module.

• SCC411 (2018-2020)
• SCC460 (2015-2018)

My Role

• PhD Admissions Tutor (2019 - 2021) I redesigned the process to improve aspects of transparency and fairness, and also to reduce application turnaround delays.
• PGT Assessment Officer (2015 - 2019) Next to working to maintain academic standards and quality through formal processes, I have redesigned the project marking forms in all our 5 MSc programmes, introduced a lightweight moderation process to ensure fair marking across all projects and to challenge boundary marks, and also designed an online system for submitting and tracking MSc dissertation marking forms.
• Athena SWAN Lead (2017 - 2019) I lead the writing and submitted the application for which SCC was awarded the Athena SWAN Bronze Award in Sept 2017 on first submission. I now lead the self-assessment team who implements an ambitious action plan that is changing many aspects of SCC, not least of which is its culture.

Research Overview

I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the School of Computing and Communications of 缅北轮奸, UK, where I lead the Distributed Systems group. I also co-lead the Data Acquisition & Infrastructure Theme at the Centre of Excellence in Environmental Data Science (CEEDS). I am also a visiting professor at Ecole de Technologie Superieure, Montreal. My work aims to enable distributed applications to traverse infrastructural boundaries. In the context of cloud computing, this entails looking into interoperability and migration challenges, as well as related decision support issues. I am the creator and chair of the international Cross-Cloud workshop series. Beyond the cloud, I work on border-free network architectures in intent-driven systems, systems of systems, and information centric networks. I also works on advocating network-awareness which involves measuring networked systems, evaluating network protocols, and proposing new network management strategies.

PhD Supervision Interests

I am interested in supervising students in any of the following topics: - Cloud brokerage and adaptive decision support - Intent Driven Networking - Fog computing services of different types, and managing their hosting on micro-clouds - Decentralised Internet infrastructures, especially for disaster recovery - Opportunistic networking, and opportunistic composition of distributed systems - Measuring online systems, such as social networks and web infrastructures - Augmented machine learning
