Distributed systems, dependability, energy-efficiency, resource management
I am happy to explore and supervise topics within distributed systems and dependability research, including fault tolerance and fault recovery, distributed machine learning, energy-efficient computing, Cloud gaming, and resource scheduling. If you have your own ideas for a research project you would like to pursue, I'm happy to discuss in more detail.
Peter Garraghan is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science and has published over 35 peer-reviewed articles within the field of distributed systems. His primary research expertise is studying the complexity and emergent behaviour of massive-scale distributed systems (Cloud computing, Datacenters, Internet of Things) to propose design new techniques for enhancing system dependability, resource management, and energy-efficiency. Peter has industrial experience building large-scale production distributed systems, and has worked and collaborated internationally with the likes of Alibaba Group, Microsoft, STFC, CONACYT, and the UK datacenter and IoT industry.
Ph.D. in Computer Science (University of Leeds, UK)
