I am a 5th year PhD student in the Electrical Engineering Department co-advised by
Associate Prof. Li-Shiuan Peh (MIT) and
Prof. Margaret Martonosi (Princeton).
In September 2009, I joined MIT's CSAIL as a visiting research scholar.
I am a member of
LSP Group,
MRM Group
and Network Systems Group.
My research is focusing on middleware to support mobile device collaboration and on the provision of novel pervasive services enabled by such middleware.
My work has proposed space-aware and resource-aware middleware for mobile devices, an architecture for offloading cloud services on mobile devices,
and novel services that leverage collaborative opportunistic sensing to improve vehicular traffic. I have also co-invented (three
patents pending) a novel MAC/PHY protocol for wireless networks.
My research interests include: mobile computing, distributed systems, networking in general, operating systems, hardware/software interfaces.
I am affiliated with these projects:
1) Singapore - MIT Alliance Future Urban Mobility (
Intelligent Transportation Systems)
2) SARANA (Space Aware and Resource Aware dynamic Network Architecture)
In Spring 2009, I received the Electrical Engineering department’s "Astounding Teaching Assistant Award" for my work on "ELE 302:
System Design and Analysis."

Intern, I-SENSE Group, ICCS, Athens, Greece.
Diploma Thesis: "Development of an extensible network platform for real time data collection and
fusion in intelligent vehicles' networks."
The thesis was carried out within the I-SENSE group of ICCS. The platform (Visual C++ .NET)
was presented in European research programs, in which universities and companies (Bosch, Fiat, Volvo, Daimler Chrysler etc.) showed
great interest. As a result, the platform got extended from I-SENSE researchers and used for testing of data fusion algorithms.
Supervisor: Prof. Uzunoglu (NTUA).

TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW
YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED
BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO
THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID.
SO THROW OFF THE BOWLINES.
SAIL AWAY FROM THE SAFE HARBOR.
CATCH THE TRADE WINDS IN YOUR SAILS.
EXPLORE. DREAM.
DISCOVER.
