Ernst Gunnar Gran
About
Ernst Gunnar Gran is an associate professor at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology at NTNU, where he conducts research in the intersection between high performance computing (HPC), HPC interconnection networks, enterprise data centre networks, cloud computing, and data-intensive processing in multi-clouds. In addition, Ernst holds a position as an adjunct research scientist at Simula Research Laboratory, where he until Dec. 2016 headed the Cloud department. Currently, Ernst acts as the Scientific Leader of Communication Technologies in the RCN funded infrastructure project eX3 (Experimental Infrastructure for Exploration of Exascale Computing), and he is the deliverable manager of the H2020 project Melodic (Multi-cloud Execution-ware for Large-scale Optimised Data-Intensive Computing). His teaching responsibilities include being the course coordinator of IMT2006 Computer Networks and IMT2007 Network Security.
Ernst received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, in 2007 and 2014, respectively, both theses focusing on different aspects of resource management in high performance interconnection networks. Previous project related work includes heading the RCN funded project ERAC (Efficient and Robust Architecture for Big Data Clouds), and leading the design, implementation and deployment of the multi-homed IP based research testbed NorNet Core. Ernst also has several years of experience as a system administrator and scientific programmer.
