Biography

I have been a researcher at Intel Research since January 2004; from 2004 until the end of 2006 in Cambridge and I recently moved to Pittsburgh. From the beginning of 2000 until the end of 2003 I was a member of the IP Group at the Sprint Advanced Technology Labs. I received my PhD from the Computer Science Department of University College London (UCL) in March 2003. My supervisors were Prof. Jon Crowcroft and Dr. Saleem Bhatti. I got my first degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in October 1998. I currently hold an adjunct faculty position in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University.

What's new

My book, co-authored with Dr. Antonio Nucci, "Design, Measurement and Management of Large-Scale IP Networks: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice" is now available from Cambridge University Press and amazon.

An editorial on the process followed for the selection of the program for ACM Sigcomm 2009 has been published by ACM Sigcomm Computer Communications Review. The report is accompanied by a suitably anonymized dataset from the paper management system, reporting on the number of reviews collected, their scores, etc. For more information please see link.

In the spring semester, I am co-teaching the wireless networking graduate class at CMU's ECE department. For information on the course please see here.

The slides from my keynote presentation at ACM CoNEXT 2008 for the ACM Sigcomm rising star award are now available from here.

Research Interests

The areas I am mostly interested in are traffic engineering, network design and planning, network measurements and traffic analysis in wired and wireless networks. My current work, among others, looks into:

• NaN: Neighborhood-Aware Networking
• SWAN: Self-organizing Wireless Access Networks
• Wireless Networking
• Traffic Analysis
