Since January 2008 I am Professor of Communication Networks, coordinating the activities of the Networks and Services Research Lab at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London.
Before that I was Professor of Communication and Information Systems, leading the activities of the Networks Research Group in the Centre for Communication Systems Research at the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Surrey.
I hold a Diploma (MEng equivalent) in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL). Before re-joining University College London in the beginning of 2008, I was for ten years Professor at Surrey leading research activities in networking and network/service management. Before that, I was Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer at UCL, leading research activities in the area of network/service management. As stated above, since January 2008 I am back at UCL but this time in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. In both Surrey and UCL I established and led highly successful research teams while I have also been involved in extensive teaching and curriculum development activities. My research interests focus on networking, network management and service engineering, including aspects such as network dimensioning, traffic engineering, quality of service management, ad hoc/mesh/sensor networks, policy-based systems, autonomic networking, multimedia service control and object-oriented communications middleware.
I am on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, the IEEE Communications, the IEEE Communication Surveys & Tutorials and the Springer Journal of Network and System Management. I am also involved in a number of international conference program committees. I have consulted for many communications companies in the UK and Europe and have contributed to standardisation activities in ISO, ITU-T, TMF and IRTF/IETF.
Here are my my Surrey contact details which are still valid as I am a visiting professor at Surrey and I spend one day per week there.
My UCL contact details can be found here.
Please note that I am in the process of transfering my pages to UCL, during this process links here may take you to my UCL pages that are identical and will eventually replace these.
