About Me
I joined the Distributed Systems Group at the Institute for Pervasive Computing as a PhD candidate in August 2010. Before, I studied computer science at ETH Zurich and received my MSc degree in April 2010. My Master's Thesis was about facilitating the deployment, interaction, and management of smart devices within the Web of Things project. From July to November 2012, I was working within the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on connecting automobiles to the Web within the CloudThink project.
My main research interests are:
- Infrastructures and architectures for a Web of Things
- Empowering human and machine clients to control, manage, and mashup smart things
- Approaches towards Web-enabling everyday, real-world devices
Information about my current projects can be found here:
- AutoWoT - A toolkit that facilitates the rapid integration of smart devices into the Web
- DiscoWoT - An extensible discovery service for smart things
- InfraWoT - A Web-based infrastructure for discovering and searching for devices and services in smart spaces
My current work is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Project No. 134631).
