About me

I am a PhD student working with Nick Roussopoulos in the Computer Science Department at the University of Maryland.

I hold an MSc degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and an MSc in telecommunications from National Kapodistrian University of Athens where also I got my CS degree.

Research

I am interested on how the pervasive wireless networks we see developed all around us can be used in future and present mobile devices to efficiently create an application rich environment. I believe that efficiency as well as simplicity will characterize the best solutions. In a world of multiple wireless protocols with different levels of optimization, where IP will be used, some form of end-to-end solution will de facto be needed. I am also interested in mobility modeling, simulation, and prediction.
