Research

We focus our research on networked systems and we strive to create concepts and methods to make networked systems more efficient, scalable, usable, and sustainable. Our focus is on creating better programming tools, middleware, and protocols, leveraging the capabilities offered by emerging hardware. Our research has been generously supported by various funding sources including the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Dutch Research Council (NWO), Google Research, and Intel.
