Patricia Arroba

Associate Professor (collaborator)

Patricia Arroba received her Ph. D. in Electronic Systems Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, in 2017, obtaining the cum laude distinction and the UPM Ph.D. Extraordinary Award.

She joined the CLOUDS Lab. at the University of Melbourne in 2014 as a visitor student, under the supervision of Professor Rajkumar Buyya. In 2017, she joined the Matsuoka Lab. at the Tokyo Institute of Technology for a research stay under the supervision of Professor Satoshi Matsuoka. Her mobilities were funded by the European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (HiPEAC) and by the European Commission (EM-EASED) respectively. Since 2018, she has been an Assistant Professor at the Telecommunications Engineering School at UPM.

Her current research focuses on the overall energy efficiency of Cloud and Edge infrastructures, considering computing and cooling systems and Smart Grid capabilities for Internet of Things and Smart City applications. In this field she has developed thermal and power models, modeling and simulation frameworks and optimization algorithms under dynamic operating conditions considering mobility of users and infrastructures’ layout.
