• Characterised the interaction between Intel RAPL power limits and Turbo Boost on four Intel Xeon microarchitectures, and derived an analytical model of turbo duration.
• Showed that power capping below about 50% of TDP systematically degrades energy efficiency.
• Designing Kubernetes components for power-aware operation: node-level capping, automatic power profiling and energy-aware scheduling.
• Large-scale experimentation on Grid'5000; collaboration with Orange Research.

• Implemented server power limitation with Intel RAPL and evaluated it on Grid'5000.
• Developed an energy-aware Kubernetes scheduler with custom resource constraints; results published at COMPAS 2024.
