Lauritz Thamsen – Services

Services

I do scientific community service in areas such as distributed computer systems, edge and cloud computing, data-intensive systems, as well as low-carbon and sustainable computing. In addition, I have been actively contributing to multiple committees and roles related to academic (self-)administration.
