Academic Achievements
  • Published numerous papers ranging from early distributed systems to the latest hybrid systems and quantum-classical algorithms. Received multiple awards, including best paper award at ISVLSI 2025, Andreas Dieberger-Peter Skalicky stipend, etc. Leads several projects, including the FWF standalone project Themis – Trustworthy and Sustainable Code Offloading.
Research Experience
  • Head of the Research Unit for Computational Sustainability at the Institute for Computer Engineering, TU Wien. Research areas include energy-efficient resource allocation in Edge/Cloud systems, application decomposition methods for hybrid systems, and new software engineering approaches for sustainable Edge applications.
Education
  • During her PhD, she developed novel QoS mechanisms for scientific Grid workflows, such as maxillo-facial surgery simulation. Her visit to the University of Melbourne triggered research on SLA guaranteeing in Clouds and later on energy-efficient management of ultra-scale systems.
Background
  • Research interests: Computational Sustainability, focusing on sustainable IT infrastructures and using IT to build a better world. Current projects include developing foundational concepts in hybrid (classic-quantum) systems and foundational mechanisms for code offloading in a hybrid setup. Also, working on digital twins to maintain sustainability.
Miscellany
  • TEDxTUWIEN speaker, discussing the impact of digital twins on sustainability. Involved in producing an educational video on AI energy consumption.
