Welcome

John
About
me:
I am a Research Leader, scientist, and computer engineer with a
background of around 20 years in the IT and telecommunications business
- a majority of them in Cloud and network research. You can find a good
overview of my research work through a detailed
list of my publications.
In this list, I try to have pre-prints of all my publications available
for open acess. Every now and
then, I
also
write about my work in the Ericsson
Blog. On social networks, I am only mildly active on LinkedIn.
Currently, I work as Principal Researcher at Ericsson
Research, focussing on Cloud & Edge computing system and
platform concepts for both IT and telco applications (5G and beyond).
Earlier, I was doing research around Network Function Virtualization
(NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and network management.
During my graduate studies at the Chalmers University of Technology in
Gothenburg, I was active in the research field of Internet measurement,
traffic analysis, traffic classification, and network security issues
from the perspektive of backbone links. During this
time, I was also a guest researcher at CAIDA
(UCSD) in San Diego. At the very beginning of my carreer,
I had the opportunity to gather first work experience in the operations
department of a large cell-phone provider.
As a leader, I have a proven track record as project manager in big,
publicly funded international research projects (e.g., EU FP7 projects SPARC and UNIFY),
internal
cross-organizational
research
programs,
as well as focussed internal research projects. I
have also developed successful research strategies on both unit and
department level. During almost 4 years, I had the pleasure of learning
a lot by leading, coaching, and mentoring team members and colleagues
in the capacity as section manager.
As a scientist, my current role as principle researcher in network
compute convergence allows me to actively contribute to the long term
vision of Ericsson and Ericsson's research organization, and act as
permanent expert
in Ericsson Cloud patent board. I have a record of more than 50+
scientific papers on Edge, Cloud, NFV, SDN, network management, and
traffic analysis; plus 10+ patents and patent applications. In terms of
community activities, I am frequently participating in conference
organization and program committees, as well as peer reviewing for
noted scientific journals. I have experience in standardization through
several technical contributions to IETF and ONF.
As a computer engineer, my technical skills span:
· Cloud & Edge computing and networking
· Operating systems and distributed systems
· NFV and SDN concepts and technologies
· Wireless telecommunication systems
· Wired network technologies and protocols
· Network and system management, OAM
· Machine learning techniques
· Scripting and programming languages
