We are happy to announce that Massimo Girondi successfully defended his licentiate thesis (licentiate is a degree at KTH half-way to a PhD)! Marco Chiesa has done an excellent job as a co-advisor and as is customary we are very grateful to Prof. Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. for his key insights. Giuseppe Siracusano was a superb opponent at the licentiate seminar, with Amir Payberah as the examiner. Massimo’s thesis is available online:
“Toward Highly-efficient GPU-centric Networking”
A few shots from the celebration are below.

Dejan hands the gift to Massimo a few weeks later in the hallway that Massimo chose for the shot. Definitely looks better than the opposite side we used in the past! (image taken by Voravit Tanyingyong)
