Research Interests

My research interests lie in the broad area of computer systems, including distributed, dependable systems, operating systems, trusted computing and storage systems.

Experience

since 09/23 Senior Researcher, Huawei R&D, Edinburgh, UK
Redesgining database operators for modern systems.
Researching and designing efficent operator implementation for databases, with a focus on hash join and hash aggregation functions.
05/22 - 08/22 Research Intern, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK
Rollback protected confidential writable storage.
Researching and designing a block level storage system which provides rollback protection for confidential containers. Additionally, exploring the possibility to lift the protection from the block storage layer into a file system layer for increased performance.
10/15 - 03/16 Research Associate, HP Labs, Palo Alto, USA
Persistent Capabilities for L4/Fiasco.OC
Researching the use of kernel capabilities for NVM, in particular using L4/Fiasco.OC capabilities to manage NVM. Also exploring the possiblities to use capabilities over multiple nodes to mediate access to shared resources.
04/14 - 12/14 Research Assistant, TU Dresden, Germay
Implementing, testing and evaluating different checksum methods for IPC in Fiasco.OC and L4Re.
