Who I Am

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science. at Reykjavik University. Before that, I worked with Dr. Gregory Chockler as a post-doctoral scientist at IBM Research in Haifa. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Cornell University in August 2009, where my advisor was Prof. Ken Birman. In May 2005, I received a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics from the University of Iceland. My advisor there was Prof. Magnus M. Halldorsson.

What I Do

My research is focused around distributed systems and cloud computing, and I am particularly interested in socially motivated real-world problems that embody deep trade-offs. Other research interests include mathematical modeling, data mining, computer security, wireless systems, randomized algorithms and epidemiology.


Here is my Curriculum Vitae (updated in February 2012).
