I'm an associate professor at the Software and Computer System (SCS) division, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden as well as a senior researcher at RISE-SICS. Before joining SCS I was an assistant professor at the Network and Systems Engineering department (2012-2016). I got my PhD from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in March 2009. My research focuses on Information Network Analytics, Decentralized Machine Learning, Data Mining, distributed systems & P2P overlays and recently on Blockchain technologies. I was the coordinator of iSocial“, Marie Curie ITN project on decentralized online social networks (2012-2017) as well as Activity Leader of a number of EIT Digital Innovation Activities (in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018). From 2016 to 2019 I was running annual EIT Digital Summer School on Big Data Analytics.

I am currently the coordinator of H2020 Marie Curie European Training Network "RAIS" (14 Phd fellows, 13 partner organisations from Europe and USA).

I am also serving as Program Director for the doctoral program "Information and Communication Technology" at EECS.
