My name is Kakia Panagidi

I am Laboratory Teaching Staff and Senior Researcher at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.



Some words about my story...

I hold a Ph.D in "Informatics and Telecommunications” from the Department of “Informatics and Telecommunications” of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) since 2019. I hold also M.Sc in “Administration and Economics of Telecommunications Networks” receiving honors scholarship and a B.Sc. in "Informatics and Telecommunications" from the same Department. Furthermore, since January 2012, I am a member of Communication Networks Laboratory (CNL) of the NKUA and my present position is Senior Research Engineer in the Network Technologies, Services and Applications Lab [http://netsa.di.uoa.gr]. I teach as an adjunct professor the course of “Project Management”, “Design of Databases” and “Algorithms and Complexity” at the Department of Digital Industry Technologies in NKUA. In 2013, I was selected for an internship at CERN as an Openlab Summer Student.I have participated in R&D projects funded by the Horizon 2020, EU FP7 programme and national initiatives. My research interests focus on key problems on Machine Learning in Pervasive Computing and Internet of Things.
