RESEARCH
OVERVIEW AND PUBLICATIONS
I am an
Assistant Professor in the Department of
Informatics of the Athens University of
Economics and Business. Previously, I was a Lecturer at the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering of the University of
Cyprus (2005-2009) and a Senior Researcher at the Telecommunications Research Center Vienna
(2003-2005).
I obtained
my Diploma in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from the National Technical
University of Athens in 1997, before moving to the Electrical Engineering
Department of Stanford University where
I obtained a M.Sc. in Electrical
Engineering (1999), a M.Sc. in Math
(2002), and eventually a Ph.D. under the advice of Andrea Goldsmith (Wireless Systems Lab), in 2003.
My research
interests are in the field of multihop wireless networks. I am interested in various aspects of their design and operation,
such as capacity bounds for them (i.e., theoretical upper bounds on their
performance), the optimization of the flow of traffic through them, the protocols in various layers (such as the
routing, multiple access control and power control protocols) as well as their
cross-layer design. Lately, I have been exploring analogies between wireless
networking and various branches of Physics such as Electrostatics and Optics. I
am mostly interested in recently proposed, challenging and unexplored
applications, such as vehicular networks, sensor networks, next-generation
multiple-hop cellular networks, etc. I am mostly using tools coming from the
various branches of probability and optimization
TEACHING (mostly in
Greek)
Courses I am teaching this semester (winter
2011-2012)
- Mathematics I: Standard
freshman course in single-variable calculus.
Courses I taught in previous semesters (Feel free to contact me if you
need more material on any of the following than what is already available)
- Information Theory: Mixed
senior/first-year-graduate course, aimed at introducing the basics of
Information Theory. Will be taught in summer semester 2011-2012.
- Probability Theory:
Standard freshman course in probability theory. Last taught in summer
semester 2010-2011, AUEB.
- Performance Evaluation of
Systems and Networks: Advanced undergraduate course in, well, performance
evaluation of systems and networks. Last taught summer semester
2009-2010.
- Introduction to Stochastic Processes:
Graduate course, aimed at introducing the most common discrete stochastic
processes. Last taught in summer semester 2007-2008, UCY.
- Introduction to Optimization Theory:
Graduate course, aimed at introducing most common tools of linear and
non-linear optimization to graduate students. Last taught in winter
semester 2007-2008, UCY.
- Wireless Networks: Advanced
undergraduate elective course, aimed at introducing seniors to the theory
and practice of wireless networks.
Last taught in winter semester 2007-2008, UCY.
- Wireless Ad Hoc Networks: Advanced
graduate course aimed at exposing graduate students to current research
activity in the field of wireless networks. Last taught in April-May 2005
as a short course in UPC. Use the
material with care, as the material is now quite dated.
Theses I have supervised
in the past
