About
Research Overview
I am a Senior Researcher/Associate Professor at the Human Environment Technology department, Mykolas Romeris University (MRU), Vilnius, Lithuania, and a Research Collaborator at the University of Trento, Italy. I hold a PhD in Information Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Trento (2022–2025), supervised by Prof. Giovanni Iacca.
My research spans Federated Learning, Blockchain Technology, Distributed Systems, and IoT. I develop frameworks such as GASPU, FedEdge, FedFor, and PA-FL to make distributed learning robust, private, and production-ready at the edge.
Published in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing (JUFO 3), IEEE IoT Journal (JUFO 2), and IEEE Wireless Communications (JUFO 2). Best Paper Award at IEEE VTC 2025.
