Project Participants The consortium comprises of the University of Cyprus, the Cyprus
Academic Research Institute (CARI), the University of Patras,
and PrimeTel Plc. The lead
participants from each institution are as follows. Host Organization Members: Prof. Georgios Ellinas (Project
Coordinator) holds a B.S., M.S., M.Phil, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Columbia University. Dr.
Ellinas is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Cyprus. Prior to joining the University of
Cyprus Dr. Ellinas was an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at
City College of the City University of New York. Before joining the academia,
Dr. Ellinas was a senior network architect at Tellium Inc. In this role, he
worked on lightpath provisioning and fault restoration algorithms in optical
mesh networks, and the architecture design of the MEMS-based all-optical
switch. Dr. Ellinas also served as a senior research scientist in Telcordia
Technologies' (formerly Bellcore) Optical Networking Research Group, where he
performed research for the DARPA-funded Optical Networks Technology
Consortium (ONTC), Multiwavelength Optical Networking (MONET) and Next
Generation Internet (NGI) projects
from 1993 to 2000. Dr. Ellinas also served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor
at Columbia University and the University of Maryland, teaching courses on
multiwavelength optical networking in 1999 and 2000, respectively. He was
awarded a Fulbright fellowship, from 1987 to 1991, for undergraduate studies
at Columbia University, where he received the Armstrong Memorial and the
William L. Everitt award at the Department of Electrical Engineering,
Columbia University. Dr. Ellinas also received the Eliahu I. Jury award for the most outstanding Ph.D. dissertation in the
Department of Electrical Engineering, the Jacob Millman graduate teaching assistant award and a fellowship from Bell
Communications Research. He has co-authored two books on optical networks (J.
Wiley 2007, Cambridge University Press 2008), edited one book on optical
networks (Springer 2011), he has authored and co-authored 9 book chapters and
more than 130 journal and conference papers, he is the holder of 30 U.S. and
international patents on optical networking. He was also awarded the most
outstanding project/paper award in the 1996 OPNET competition for a project using OPNET as the simulator platform. He is a senior member of IEEE, and a
member of OSA, ACM, and the Marie Curie Fellows Association. Prof. Mohamed A. Ali received
his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Lead Team Members: Prof. Antonis Hadjiantonis received his BEEE and MEEE from the City College of
the City University of New York in 1998 and 2000, respectively. In 2005 and
2006 he earned the M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees, both in
Electrical Engineering from the Graduate School of the City University of New
York. Between 2005 and 2007 he was a Senior Researcher at SignlalGeneriX Ltd. where he worked on
various research projects on optical networks. He is currently an Assistant
Professor with the Department of Engineering at the University of Nicosia.
His research interests include the vertical integration in multi-layer
networking environments, routing and signaling algorithms in optical
metropolitan and wide area networks, and first/last mile access network
architectures. While at CUNY, Dr. Hadjiantonis received the prestigious Carell Dissertation Fellowship
Award for his outstanding research in optical networking. Prof. Kyriakos Vlachos received his Dipl.-Ing.
and PhD degrees in ECE from the National University of Athens in 1998 and
2001. From 1997 to 2001 he was a senior research associate in the Photonics
Communications Research Laboratory (ICCS/NTUA). Since 2005, he is a faculty
member of the Dr. Dimitrios Yiannakopoulos holds a PhD. in
Communications Networks from the National Technical University of Athens. He
is a PrimeTel Senior Engineer responsible for analysis design and development
of offered telephony and data services aiming at the mass market and at
custom solutions for big customers. Specifically the responsibility areas
were the layers of service logic, service authentication authorization and
accounting, monitoring of service execution, and mediation of service
accounting data. He is also responsible for the evaluation and selection of
new technologies, the estimation traffic demand for future networks, and the
design and dimensioning of long-term network architecture along with
network/service convergence. |
