krikidis I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cyprus. I am the director of the IRIDA Research Centre for Communication Technologies and the Mobile Communications and Networking (MCN) laboratory, which conduct research in the broad area of communication theory, communication signal processing, wireless communications and networks. I was awarded a Consolidator grant by the European Research Council (ERC) in 2018 and I am a Fellow of the IEEE.

My research focus is on Wireless Communications. More specifically, I am interested in:
  • Cooperative networks (relay channel)
  • Wireless powered communications
  • MIMO systems
  • Diversity techniques
  • Full-duplex radio
  • Physical layer secrecy
  • Cognitive radio
  • Cross-layer design
  • CDMA-OFDM
  • System studies
