On Monday, February 13, at 10:00, Datalab PhD candidate Anna-Valentini Michailidou has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Resource Allocation and Quality Management in Geo-Distributed Workflows”. Datalab’s team is pleased to congratulate Anna-Valentini Michailidou on her successful PhD defense and wishes her all the best for her future career.
Anna-Valentini Michailidou presented her research results during her doctoral examination on February 13, 2022. During her research, Ms. Michailidou focused on the challenges in analyzing geographically distributed data in a fast and efficient manner, and proposed multi-objective resource allocation and edge computing techniques to address them. The proposed solutions consider factors such as network heterogeneity, privacy constraints, and data quality verification tasks, and achieve significant improvements in latency and traffic reduction compared to state-of-the-art solutions. Her thesis also discusses joint optimization of multiple Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and provides a vision for next-generation, edge-enabled, big data analytics solutions, highlighting the remaining open issues and new challenges in deploying data-intensive applications on the edge. Finally, Anna-Valentini Michailidou has already presented her research results at several international conferences and published them in international journals.
