Mohammad Ashjaei, Associate Professor, Docent
About me: I am a senior lecturer with a docent diploma at Mälardalen University (MDU) working at the Networked and Embedded Systems department. I am affiliated with the Complex Real-Time Embedded Systems (CORE) and the Heterogeneous Systems - Hardware Software Co-design (HERO) research groups. I have received my PhD degree in Computer Science and Engineering from MDH in November 2016, and after that until April 2020 I was an associate researcher at MDU. My doctoral dissertation is on resource reservation for industrial switched Ethernet networks.
Research: Since May 2020 I am a senior lecturer at MDU in the area of data communication for embedded systems. I have received my docent diploma in Dec 2021. My main focus of research is on resource reservation in communication, where the communication can be in different context, such as automation networks, automotive networks, as well as cloud and fog communication infrastructures. I am also interested in predictability analysis, design configuration, dynamic and adaptive configurations, and software development of real-time communication networks in various domains. I have worked (and still working) in several research projects in different roles that can be found in the "Projects" section.
