I focus on making distributed computer systems scalable, reliable, and performant through datacenter simulation and digital twins.
- Researching computer systems with the Massivizing Computer Systems group, VU Amsterdam.
- Developing OpenDT, the first Open-Source Digital Twin for datacenter operation and monitoring (published with peer-review in ICPE HotCloudPerf 2026).
- Simulating the performance and sustainability of datacenters with M3SA — multi- and meta-model simulation and analysis (published with peer-review in Computing Frontiers '26).
- Leading teaching teams and co-teaching in Computer Organization and Computer Networks at VU Amsterdam.
