Sustainable Networking
The Internet has grown to become an indispensable part of our lives. It also consumes massive amounts of energy and is accountable for an increasingly large share of the worldwide carbon footprint–each in the order of a couple of percent! The question is not if but how we can improve Internet sustainability.
If you are interested in a project or a doctoral position in that area, contact Romain; we often have more project ideas than what is being publicly offered on our website.
