Distributed systems, ICT energy & sustainability, datacentres, systems security, resource management.

I am happy to explore and supervise topics within distributed systems, energy, resource scheduling, security, and dependability research. If you have your own ideas for a research project you would like to pursue, feel free to contact me to discuss further.

Evolving Distributed Systems Laboratory

Peter Garraghan is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science and has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles within the field of distributed systems. His research expertise is empirically studying and improving the performance, resilience, and sustainability of massive-scale distributed systems (Cloud computing, Datacentres) in the face of societal and environmental change.

Peter has industrial experience building large-scale production distributed systems, and has worked and collaborated internationally with the likes of Alibaba Group, Microsoft, BT, STFC, CONACYT, and the UK datacenter and IoT industry.
