About me
I completed my undergraduate studies in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 2004 and received my Ph.D. in 2009, both at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. My research lies in the domain of networked systems, in particular distributed and mobile agent systems. I'm interested in all aspects of such systems that pertain to dynamicity, fault tolerance, and other related issues that emerge in large-scale systems, such as absence of centralized control, uncertainty, etc. I also maintain an active interest in resource allocation in optical networks, as well as in computational complexity theory. My work draws in particular on the fields of distributed algorithms, mobile agent computing, approximation algorithms, algorithmic game theory, and computational complexity.
CV: The latest version of my curriculum vitæ is available here [pdf]. In French here [pdf]. (updated March 4th, 2020)
Research interests (key words): Distributed algorithms: mobile agents, rendezvous, exploration, fault tolerance, self-stabilization. Communication networks: optical networks, WDM, routing, wavelength assignment, decentralized and noncooperative models. Computability and complexity: counting complexity, computability and complexity models for mobile agents.
