Office Hours

For office hours, I have an open-door policy. Please come by if you wish to do Guided Research or Thesis (BA and MA) with me. In any case, I have a door notice that indicates if I am available or not. Otherwise, I am always reachable by e-mail.

Student Opportunities

For students, I offer the option of Guided Research and/or Thesis (BA and MA). 

Currently, I am focusing in the area of collaborative and serverless machine learning in the device-edge-cloud continuum. If you are interested in any of those areas, we can find a topic that fits your interests.

Furthermore, if any of my research interests also fit your goals, please do not hesitate to contact me.
