Uncertainty-Aware Workflow Scheduling, Statistical Risk Control, and Cloud Resource Optimisation

Joseph Adeleke • PhD student in Computer Science

The research direction

Towards more predictable cloud workflows.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Cloud Computing, Distributed Systems, Statistical Learning, and Optimisation. I focus on developing reliable, cost-efficient methods for scheduling complex computational workflows in cloud environments.

I am particularly interested in deadline-constrained workflow scheduling under uncertain execution conditions, uncertainty quantification, distribution-free statistical risk control, and resource allocation strategies that balance cost, performance, and reliability.

My research direction combines mathematical modelling, statistical methods, and experimental systems evaluation to improve the predictability and dependability of cloud computing infrastructure.
