Project Participants Project Coordinator: Dr Stavros
Iezekiel has 20 years of experience in microwave photonics research,
having been at the University of Leeds (UK) until 2006. He has published 36
journal and 71 conference papers, and filed 2 patents in RoF. He was awarded
the 1999 IEE Measurements Prize for his work in lightwave network analysis.
Dr Iezekiel is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Chartered Physicist. He
serves on the MTT-11 Technical Committee of the IEEE Microwave Theory and
Techniques Society, and is a member of the TPC for the IEEE RFIC Symposium and
the IEEE International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics. At the
University of Leeds, Dr Iezekiel graduated 15 Ph.D. students, many of whom
won national and international prizes. He was successful in obtaining
industrial research funding in addition to national and European funding (totalling �600,000 as a principal investigator, and
�2,180,000 as a joint investigator), and he attracted $229,000 of equipment
donations. At the University of Leeds, Dr Iezekiel was the Deputy Director of
the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics, one of the world's leading
microwave research laboratories. Dr Iezekiel's
research interests are in microwave photonics, with applications to: (i)
High-speed laser diodes. (ii) Photonic packaging. (iii) All-optical microwave
filters. (iv) Lightwave network analysis. (v) Radio-over-fiber. Contributions
include the demonstration of remote upconversion picocells for multimode fiber radio. As a result of this,
novel circuit designs for self-oscillating mixers were reported. In addition,
Dr Iezekiel was a member of the first team to propose and theoretically
investigate the application of OFDM to radio-over-fiber using multimode fiber
feeds. Recent work included the extension of this work to single-mode
radio-over-fiber using a 60 GHz carrier for transmission of 270 Mb/s data (as
part of a project to develop a wireless HDTV studio network). Rest Team Members: Dr. Georgios
Ellinas holds a B.S., M.S., M.Phil, and a Ph.D.
in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University. Dr. Ellinas was a Senior
Research Scientist in Bellcore�s Optical Networking
Research Group where he performed research for the DARPA-funded ONTC, MONET
and NGI projects from 1993 to 2000. Dr. Ellinas also served as a Senior
Network Architect at Tellium Inc
from 2000 to 2002. There he worked on lightpath provisioning and fault
restoration algorithms in optical mesh networks. Dr. Ellinas was an Associate
Professor of Electrical Engineering at the City College of New York
(2002-2005). There, he conducted research on survivable optical networks,
traffic grooming in WDM-based networks, optical access networks and control
and management of optical networks. He has co-authored two books on optical
networks (J. Wiley 2007, Cambridge University Press 2008), he is the
co-editor of another book on optical networks (Springer 2011), he has
authored and co-authored 9 book chapters and more than 145 journal and
conference papers, and he is the holder of 35 patents on optical networking. Dr.
Constantinos Pitris is an Associate Professor in the ECE Department of
the University of Cyprus, since 2010. Dr. Pitris studied at the University of
Texas at Austin (BS in Electrical Engineering, 1993, MS in Electrical
Engineering, 1995), MIT (Ph.D. in Electrical and Medical Engineering, 2000),
and Harvard Medical School (MD Magna Cum Laude, 2002). He was a research
assistant at the University of Texas and MIT and a postdoctoral associate at
the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. His research
interests cover optics and biomedical imaging. He has published 1 book, 39
journal and 91 conference papers, and 4 book chapters. Citations to his work
have exceeded 3400 according to Scopus in 2012.� He is also the co-founder of two start-up
companies in the area of medical diagnostics. Dr. Antonis
Hadjiantonis received his BEEE and MEEE from the City College of New York
in 1998 and 2000. In 2005 and 2006 he earned the M.Phil. and
Ph.D. degrees, both in Electrical Engineering from the City University of New
York. He was a Senior Researcher at SignlalGenerix
Inc. (2005-2007) where he worked on various research projects on optical
networks. He is an Assistant Professor with the Dept. of Engineering at the
University of Nicosia. His research interests include vertical integration in
multi-layer networking environments, routing and signaling algorithms in
optical networks, and optical access network architectures. While at CUNY, he
received the prestigious Carell Dissertation
Fellowship Award for outstanding research in optical networking. Dr. Anastasis
C. Polycarpou received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical
Engineering from Arizona State University. While at ASU, he worked on the
development and enhancement of numerical methods for complex electromagnetic
problems such as microwave circuits, interconnects and electronic packaging,
cavity-backed slot antennas in the presence of magnetized ferrites, and
helicopter electromagnetics.� Dr.
Polycarpou has published more than 40 journals and conference proceedings and
two chapters in books.� He is a
Professor and Head of the Engineering Dept. at the University of
Nicosia.� His areas of interest include
numerical methods in electromagnetics, antennas analysis and design,
electromagnetic theory, and ferrite materials. Mr. Theodosis
Theodosiou holds an M.Sc. in Communications
Networks from the University of Surrey and a Diploma from Aristotle
University in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He joined Thunderworx Ltd in 2002 as a Network Engineer and since
2004 he is with PrimeTel Plc as Manager of Regulatory Affairs and
Interconnect Department where he is involved with telecom regulatory and
interconnection issues, product and services development strategy, and
project coordination. Mr. Vladimir
A. Ivashchenko received a diploma in Computer
Science from Intercollege, Cyprus and an Associate of Computer Science
Diploma from the University of Indianapolis. He works on telecom systems
