In 2024, we launched the first edition of the ASCI doctoral course Design and Implementation of Real-Time Systems. It brought together PhD students from different Dutch universities and created a very rewarding week of lectures, hands-on exercises, and discussions on real-time systems research and practice.

I am pleased to share that we are organizing the ACM Europe & Dutch 4TU.NIRICT Summer School on “Systems Meet AI”, which will take place in Delft, the Netherlands, from July 6–10, 2026.

Congratulations to Ivy Zhuang (Santa Clara University) for being accepted to Google Summer of Code 2026 with the RTEMS project! I will be mentoring Ivy together with Gedare Bloom on a project that brings MPCP and DPCP—two classical multiprocessor synchronization protocols—into RTEMS.

I’m happy to share that our paper “How Much Energy Is Wasted in LLM Operations? Evidence from Kernel-Level DVFS” has been accepted at the ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers.

I’m excited to share that our paper “Efficient Hash-to-Index via Rejection Sampling for Online Fault Detection with Bloom/Cuckoo Filters” has been accepted at ETS 2026! In this work, we revisit a classic idea — rejection sampling — and show how it can be used as a practical, hardware-efficient alternative to division or multiplication for mapping hashes to table indices.

I am very pleased to share that our proposal “Systems Meet AI: Driving Innovation in the Dutch Society” has been awarded €40,000 by 4TU.NIRICT — a collaborative effort that I co-led with colleagues across several dutch universities.

On 11.11.2025, I had the pleasure to visit the Computer Science (CS) Department at University of Münster, together with colleagues from UTwente’s CS Department. It was a department-to-department exchange where both sides presented research highlights, explored strategic themes, and identified concrete opportunities to collaborate.

On October 8th, 2025, I was invited by Dr. Nikolas Alachiotis to give a guest lecture in the master course Embedded Computer Architectures I (part of the EMSYS program) at the University of Twente.

Teaching operating systems usually takes place in a lecture hall or a classroom—but today I found myself standing on the stage of Agora Theater on the campus, with rows of bright red seats in front of me and full stage lighting above.

On September 3rd, 2025, together with Marco Ottavi, lead of the Dependable Computing Systems group, I had the pleasure of hosting Federico Reghenzani, Assistant Professor from the HEAP Lab at Politecnico di Milano.
