About me
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Informatics at the University of Macedonia, Greece. Prior to my current position, I served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University College London. I earned my Ph.D from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Democritus University of Thrace in Greece.
My research focuses on various areas, including Software-Defined Networks, Network Function Virtualization, Mobile Edge/Fog Computing, and Internet of Things. Additionally, I possess extensive experience as a software engineer, having worked with diverse computer environments such as Linux, Unix, and Windows. From May to October of 2005, I worked as a software engineer at DoCoMo Eurolabs in Munich.
Throughout my career, I have actively contributed to several international research projects, including NECOS (H2020), UniverSELF (FP7), Ambient Networks (FP6), Extending Internet into Space (European Space Agency), COST290, and Autonomic Internet (FP7), among others.
More information on my research activities can be found at the Softwarized & Wireless Networks Research Group website.
