Gopika Premsankar
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Aalto University in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering.
Before joining Aalto, I was an Academy of Finland postdoctoral researcher at University of Helsinki, and had a short stint as a postdoctoral researcher at Ivey Business School in Canada funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation. I completed my doctoral research from 2015 to 2020 at the Department of Computer Science in Aalto University under the supervision of Prof. Mario Di Francesco. Along the way, I have also spent time in research labs in VU Amsterdam, Duke University, Nokia Bell Labs and IBM Research Ireland.
My research interests are in networked systems, with a primary focus on enhancing the sustainability and performance of large-scale networks. More information on the research page.
Note: If you’re interested in working on topics related to sustainability of AI, please send me an email with your CV, motivation letter, transcript of records (both BSc and MSc), and contact information for three references.
