I'm interested in a wide field of studies, from computer engineering/science to multilateral negotiations. My current focus areas are computer architecture, 3D reconstruction and negotiation simulation infrastructure.
In my research as a PhD Candidate at the Norwegian University for Science and Technology (NTNU), I'm working on microarchitectural and algorithmic specializations to the processor frontends for cloud computing. Those projects aim to improve the efficiency of cloud computing as a whole and reduce its environmental footprint. This is important as we continue to bring more people online, and cloud services will need to serve ever more people in the future.
I'm aware that to achieve an efficient cloud computing stack, we need effective hardware and optimizations throughout the stack, including the operating system, compiler support, and workload optimisations. I'm very much interested in co-optimizing all of the above, as this enables more impactful changes to the compute stack of tomorrow's cloud computing infrastructure.
While my PhD studies are my primary focus, I'm also highly interested in local and international politics and negotiations. I served on the board of the Institute for Global Negotiations (IGN) from 2020 to 2024. I strongly recommend that all engineers get foundational negotiation training. At the very least, it will benefit you personally, as you will go through wage negotiations several times during your career. Additionally, it also serves you well on the job, as an engineer often has to communicate with stakeholders from various backgrounds and find an agreeable solution for all of them. Getting negotiation training at your university or at the Global Negotiation Conference (summer school offered by IGN) will improve your ability to do so.
