I currently serve as Assistant Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering (ICSE) at the University of the Aegean, Greece. I hold a PhD degree in Communication Networks and a Dipl.-Eng. (5-year degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a major in Telecommunications. My research centers on advancing wireless communication networks, with a specific focus on Internet of Things (IoT) and next-generation 5G/6G technologies. I investigate cooperative transmission schemes and non-terrestrial network (NTN)-based connectivity to enable robust IoT applications in remote and underserved regions. My work also emphasizes addressing critical challenges in smart agriculture and sustainability. Furthermore, I explore the application of machine learning techniques to enhance resource allocation, optimize network deployment, and drive efficiency in modern communication systems.I currently serve on the editorial boards of Wireless Networks (Springer) and Internet Technology Letters (Wiley). Previously, I was an editorial board member for the Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking (EURASIP), Advances in Electrical Engineering (Hindawi), and The Scientific World Journal (Communications and Networking subject area, Hindawi).
