I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Distributed and Embedded System (DES) group of the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University, part of the Center for Embedded Software Systems (CISS) research center.
My research is focused on modeling and analysis of Cyber-Physical systems and their intergration to the Internet of Things, in particular in the domain of Smart Homes and Smart Grids, to ensure dependability properties.
I am also involved in several European projects working on ICT infrastructure for energy management.
Research in tools and techniques for dependability of Cyber Physical systems in the context of the Internet of Things.
Visiting the Software Engineering Laboratory for Dependable Systems of Professor Shaoying Liu to work on testing software systems.
Research in dependability of dynamic heterogeneous distributed systems. Takes part in European and Danish projects on Smart Grids (Encourage, TotalFlex, Intrepid, ArrowHead).
Developer of the HomePort middleware. Collaboration with several danish companies to integrate different technologies and protocols into a unique home automation network. Involvement in the Encourage European project.
Embedded system and real time software development under Windows CE. Improvement and implementation of new functionalities for the NightCove product.

Supervising student developers working on the HomePort middleware and guest lecturer in Network and Embedded Systems course.
Supervising two Computer Science (5th semester) group projects and Teaching Assistant in Distributed Systems and Networks course.
The TotalFlex project is a Danish project aiming at taking advantage of the energy flexibility provided by some devices and appliances in homes, buildings or factories, by developing a framework enabling flexibility estimation, aggregation and trading through a specific market place. My involvement in the project has been on the architectural design and implementation of the communication architecture enabling information exchange between distributed components. It was implemented using the HTTP over XMPP protocol for M2M communication and HTTP web interfaces for H2M communication. To ensure consistency of the interfaces I have developed a "REST" wrapper for the open source Smack library. Details on the TotalFlex framework are available here.
The European Arrowhead project aims at enabling collaborative automation by providing a service oriented framework facilitating integration and interoperability between services of different domains. The energy flexibility market, and the system developed in TotalFlex is one of the pilot domain of the project. In this project, I have contributed to the integration of the TotalFlex system to the Arrowhead framework, and participated to the design, implementation and presentation of several real life demonstrators.
The European Embedded iNtelligent COntrols for bUildings with Renewable generAtion and storaGE (ENCOURAGE) aimed at developing ICT solution for energy efficient buildings. I have contributed to the design and implementation of the open source middleware that enables the deployment of applications in Smart Buildings, such as energy optimization. The results of the project are presented here.
