Personal profile

Research interests

I am Professor (Chair) of Digital Technologies at Kingston University London (KU), School of Computer Science (CS), where I am currently a senior member of the Cyber, Engineering and Digital Technologies KERI. Upon joining KU, I founded and led a research group on Wireless Multimedia & Networking (WMN). I teach modules on wireless systems, networks and protocols. Prior to this post, I worked for Ofcom, the UK Regulator and Competition Authority, as an R&D Team Leader. While at the University of Surrey, UK, I was a PostDoc Researcher (PDRA) working on virtual distributed testbeds in the Centre for Communication Systems Research (now the Institute for Communication Systems, 6G Innovation Centre). This was preceded by engineering positions with Intracom-Telecom SA and Maroussi 2004 SA in Athens, Greece. I have managed to raise sustained funding from the EU and UK research and technology frameworks under the ICT and Security programmes (FP5/6/7, H2020, Horizon Europe, EPSRC and Innovate UK). I hold two patents and have published over 230 papers in international journals and conferences and chapters in ten books. In parallel to my academic career, I am heavily involved in building and managing technology start-ups. At the same time to the above, I am the Founder and one of the Directors of Ubitech Ltd. Ubitech has recently launched its first product called UbiTheraPlay, which is a gaming platform for the rehabilitation of neurodivergent people. I hold a PhD and MSc from the University of Surrey, UK and a BEng from the University of Athens, Greece, all in Electrical/ Electronic Engineering. I am senior member of the IEEE and UK/ Greece chartered engineer.
