Senior Lecturer
I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the School of Computing and Communications of Lancaster University, 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.
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

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.
Member of the Steering Committee of the CrossCloud Workshop Series, having founded the event in 2014.
Lead Guest Editor of the Journal of Internet Services and Applications thematic series on Cross-Cloud Computing (2015 - present).
Memeber of the TPC of several ACM and IEEE conferences such as CoNEXT, CNSM, DAIS, ICN, IM, and SAC.
