Research Interests

Dr. Hamed Hamzeh’s research explores the intersection of distributed systems, cloud computing, and applied artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on autonomous, resource-efficient infrastructure management.

• Intelligent Cloud & Edge Orchestration: Designing autonomous scheduling and autoscaling mechanisms for heterogeneous distributed systems and microservices.
• Applied AI for Systems Operations: Leveraging multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) and graph neural networks (GNNs) for dynamic resource allocation and bin-packing.
• Sustainable & Energy-Aware Computing: Developing digital twins and thermal optimization models to reduce carbon emissions and improve power usage effectiveness in data centres.
• Advanced Kubernetes Orchestration: Prototyping custom controllers, operators, and scheduler extenders to improve infrastructure fairness, efficiency, and reliability.
