I am a PhD researcher in Computer Science with a research focus on cloud, edge, and fog computing, distributed systems, and intelligent resource management. My work particularly involves workflow and task scheduling, service function chaining (SFC), optimization, deadline-aware resource allocation, and performance evaluation across edge–cloud environments. I have experience in designing and evaluating optimization-based and adaptive scheduling methods using simulation environments and quantitative performance metrics such as latency, cost, resource utilization, communication overhead, and execution time. My broader research interests include AI-assisted scheduling, networked systems, cloud-native computing, and emerging computing paradigms. I am particularly interested in reviewing research related to cloud and edge computing, fog computing, distributed systems, resource allocation, workflow scheduling, optimization, service function chaining, network function virtualization, and AI for systems and networking.
