Research Interest

While at the University of Luxembourg, i.e between 2007 and 2022, my main research interests used to lie in the security and performance evaluation (including energy efficiency) of parallel and distributed computing platforms, such as HPC clusters or Cloud Computing infrastructures. In this context, below are listed some recent relevant contributions per domain:

• Performance & Energy efficiency of HPC/Cloud platforms: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
• Security of Distributed Systems (incl. blockchains): [18] [19] [20] [21] [9] [22] [23] [24] [25]
• Crash/cheating fault analysis/tolerance and result checking in grid and distributed computing platforms: [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34]
• Code Obfuscation: [35] [36] [37]
• Developing security awareness by education [38] [39] [20] [22] [23] [24] [25]

I also co-authored a couple of books (related to NFT, blockchains, coding theory or C programming) – see this page for more details.
