My background
I currently work as a technical lead for Energima Energy Platform, a small startup developing a cloud based solution for monitoring and managing energy usage and indoor climate of commercial buildings. This involves everything from challenges in managing a network of large numbers of sensors and feeding data from these remote devices into cloud based infrastructure using Kubernetes. This involves a wide variety of challenges, ranging from performance, maintainability and scalability to architecture and security.
Prior to Energima, I worked for a number of years doing kernel development on Linux. I have also been interested in and involved in development of Qemu. Before that I worked for another startup that developed software that solved problems around peer-to-peer communication across firewalls. I also have several years of experience and have supervised master theses around search engines and in early days of social media (before we even called it that..)
Available Master student projects
Possible thesis topics with me include:
- Challenges with Internet of Things (IoT) - networks of sensor providing devices
- Novel applications of commercial building sensor data
- topics related to the virtualization platform QEMU/KVM
- topics related to testing and test related tools for development
- topics around development of the Linux kernel
Contact me for more info or if you have ideas for a project!
Ongoing master student projects
Haakon Andersen writes a thesis looking at challenges around effectively operating multiple gateways to networks with sensor data.
Recently finished master thesis projects
Arild Lillegård has finished a thesis on Test Driven Development in the Linux Kernel, where he looked at KTF, a unit test framework for testing internal kernel interfaces to improve testing of the Linux kernel. KTF is a test framework I developed as part of a driver and hardware development project in Oracle. It is open source and available here.
Christian Resell finished a thesis titled Forward-Edge and Backward-Edge Control-Flow Integrity Performance in the Linux Kernel. You can find it here.
