Contiki and Contiki-NG

Much of my work sits around Contiki-NG, an open-source operating system for resource-constrained networked devices, and its ecosystem of simulation and testing tools. It is used widely in research and teaching, and remains one of the more capable platforms for building and evaluating low-power IPv6 networks.

The recurring theme across that work is making protocols behave at scale: routing that still converges in dense deployments, memory footprints that fit real hardware, and results that hold up outside a simulator.

Research interests

• Routing and network protocols for low-power lossy networks — scalability and reliability in dense deployments
• Operating systems for constrained devices — Contiki-NG, embedded networking stacks, tooling
• Energy efficiency — duty cycling and lightweight machine-to-machine protocols
• Edge AI and embedded intelligence — inference on devices too small for the usual assumptions
• Privacy-preserving sensing — occupancy and activity from thermal imaging rather than cameras

I co-founded Jfokus, one of the larger developer conferences in the Nordics, and I spend time on side projects that have nothing to do with networking — mostly audio software.
