Postodoctoral scholar in edge systems

at  Chalmers

THE TEAM WORKING ON THIS PROJECT, CONSISTING OF THE PI WITH THREE NEW PHD STUDENTS, WORKS ACROSS THE ENTIRE EDGE STACK, (RE-)DEFINING HOW EDGE SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED, BUILT, AND OPERATED. TOGETHER, WE AIM TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOUR RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

• What is the right architecture to build a distributed edge cloud, taking into account the trade-offs betweencost, performance, bandwidth, and energy?
• How to design adaptive edge applications that can utilize the full potential of the edge infrastructure giventhe multiple edge constraints?
• How to manage the workload dynamics of real-time edge cloud applications taking into account mobility,load spikes, failures, and performance inversion?
• How to manage and process massive data of edge applications in real-time while maintaining therequirements on data privacy and security?
