Strengthening security for cloud computing applications

In today's digital landscape, applications are increasingly being deployed on cloud platforms, offering benefits such as streamlined management and cost-effectiveness. However, even with the efforts of cloud providers to deliver reliable services, the risk of runtime failures and faults still exists. This project aims to address this challenge by exploring innovative approaches to detect and mitigate errors that occur during the operation of cloud-based applications. By proactively identifying and resolving runtime issues, we can enhance the overall performance, reliability, and …

Southern ocean aerosols: Sources, sinks and impact on cloud formation and climate

Robust prediction of human-induced global warming and future climate requires more accurate climate models. Currently, aerosol-clouds interactions represent the largest source of uncertainty in our global climate models. To reduce this uncertainty, we need a better understanding of aerosol sources, chemical and physical properties, and processes impacting their growth to sizes where they can act as Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) and interact with incoming solar radiation.The Southern Ocean is a region of the world where climate and weather models, including …
