Marco Gerards received the M.Sc. degrees in computer science and in applied mathematics from the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, in 2008 and 2011 respectively. In 2014 he received his Ph.D. degree for a thesis on algorithmic power management. Since 2016 he is an assistant professor within the Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems (CAES) group.  His research interests are robust decentralized algorithms and decision making under uncertainty. He applies his developed methodologies in  decentralized energy management and sustainable computing.
