I was born in Athens, Greece. I am a staff member of the Communication Networks Laboratory (CNL) and Pervasive Computing Research Group/University of Athens, and I am working in the area of wireless/ mobile networks. My research interests include Virtual Home Environment (VHE) architectures in conjunction with the Mobile Agent Technology (MAT), modelling of Context Aware Services (CAS) in the UMTS, game theory, artificial intelligence, distributed programming, semantic web and MAT integration. I have received the following degrees:

·         BSc, Hellenic Air Force Academy (1992).

·         MSc, "Networking and Telecommunications Engineering", University of Athens/Dept. of Informatics and Telecommunications, Greece (2001)

·         MSc, "'Mobile and Satellite Communications", University of Surrey/ Dept. of Electronics and Physical Sciences, UK (2003)

·         PhD, "Mobile Agents: Applications to services in mobile computing and architectural improvements", University of Athens/ Dept. of Informatics and Telecommunications, Greece (2009)
