معرفی
Anton Semjonov is a Research Associate in the Distributed Operating Systems (DOS) group at the Department of Informatics, University of Hamburg, working under Prof. Dr. Janick Edinger. He also leads the interdisciplinary Creative Lab "base.camp" at the faculty level, fostering student innovation and real-world problem solving. His academic journey includes a Master’s in Informatics with a focus on Information Security from Universität Hamburg (2023) and a Bachelor’s in General Engineering Science with a focus on Computer Science from TU Hamburg (2020).
- Master of Science, Informatics (Information Security), Universität Hamburg, 2023
- Bilingual Bachelor of Engineering, General Engineering Science (Computer Science), TU Hamburg, 2020
His research focuses on computation offloading and edge computing, particularly through browser-based middleware like Wasimoff, which leverages WebAssembly to enable zero-setup, volunteer-driven distributed computing. He also investigates coordination in distributed systems and information security, with publications at Middleware and IEEE PerCom. His work extends into computer science education, where he analyzes how creative labs bridge gaps in traditional curricula.
The most recent articles highlight a strong trend in decentralized, secure, and scalable computing frameworks that utilize idle edge devices through web browsers. These works emphasize real-world deployment, performance evaluation, and the integration of privacy-preserving and context-aware mechanisms in heterogeneous environments. There is a clear interdisciplinary thread combining systems research with educational innovation.
