I'm an assistant professor in the Laboratory for Communication
Networks (LCN) at the Royal Institute of Technology
(KTH), Sweden. Before joining LCN, I was a senior
researcher in the Computer
Systems Laboratory (CSL) at the Swedish
Institute of Computer Science (SICS). I got my PhD from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne (EPFL) in March 2009. My research focuses on distributed online social
networks, large-scale distributed systems, cloud computing, peer-to-peer
topologies, Small-World phenomenon in peer-to-peer overlays, scalable publish/subscribe systems and content distribution. I
am the coordinator of „iSocial“, Marie Curie ITN project on distributed online
social networks. I also do some teaching, mainly for Network Algorithms, Distributed Computing, Peer-to-Peer and GRIDS
and Advanced Topics in Distributed
Systems courses.
Short Bio
I was born in 1978, in Kaunas, Lithuania. I got my B.Sc. (2000) and M.Sc. (2002) in Informatics from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. In 2003 I finished the Doctoral School in Computer and Communication
Sciences, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland and joined the Distributed
Information Systems Lab (LSIR) as a research assistant. In 2005 I enrolled to the PhD studies, supervised
by prof. Karl Aberer. I got my Ph.D. from EPFL in March 2009. From January to April 2008 I did an internship at IBM Haifa Research labs
under the supervision of dr. Gregory
Chockler.
I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, which was especially
rewarding in the Swiss Alps. I had many fantastic
moments while hiking in the Alps accompanied by my wonderful friends.
