Research Interests

My research focuses on how video games can be more environmentally sustainable. To advance the research field of Green Gaming, I develop methods and tools to measure and reduce the power consumption of video games.

I am currently actively pursuing the following topics in my research:

• Green Computing
• Green Gaming
• Green Software
• Power Consumption
• Power Measurements
• Software Benchmarking
• Sustainability
• Video Games
