Research
My main research interests are in IP networks, and in
energy-efficiency, but also in how to get rid of IP, i.e., various
"Future Internet" topics. I like constuctive research, where we
actually build stuff, and experiment with it. You won't find papers
with purely theoretical discussion from my team, rather lots of
C-code instead.
My research group has over 20 people working on various
topics. My current research projects are:
The Future Internet Research Programme of Finland (ICT SHOK FI): this is my
main focus area, research within the national public-private
partnership on Future Internet. Here my team works with new concepts
for SLA-guaranteed Internet connectivity for SMEs, energy-efficient
communication for mobile networks, in particular the handset, and new
concepts for reliable transport, to replace TCP from the Internet.
I'm also the Academic Coordinator of the programme, looking after the
Finnish universities and research institutes in the
programme.
Celtic 100 Gbit/s Carrier-Grade Ethernet Transport Technologies
(100GET)
2008-2010: here my group looks at architectural issues and how to
make Ethernet-based networks scale to thousands or even millions of
hosts. Particular topics include the scalability of legacy Ethernet,
and RBridges.
New concepts for messaging platforms: this is a subcontracted
work where we investigate ways to build a messaging platform that can
merge together very different communication mediums and familiar
Email type of messaging applications.
Intelligent Structural Health Monitoring (ISMO) 2008-2012: this is a
research project funded through the TKK internal . My team works with
sensor network routing and transport issues, but also service
discovery.
Trilogy 2009-2011:
this is an EU FP7 research project where my researchers work as part
of the Nokia team on issues related to multipath transport and
routing.
Datacenters to Finland (DC2F): we study energy-efficiency and heat
reuse in datacenters. Specific targets are high-voltage DC (HVDC),
energy-efficient networking and switching, and building construction and
heat reuse.
Energy and Cost Efficiency for Wireless Access (ECEWA): this
project is about mobile access and how make the network simpler and lower
the energy consumption of the network as a whole.
GOODNET - control and care in risk-aware networking: this project
is about understanding OAM and developing operators' core networks towards
simpler and more robust operation. My team works in HIIT and is mostly
involved in PTPv2 and Y.1731.
I do a lot of standardization work in the IETF, and I was the
co-chair of the NSIS
working group.
