Education

Petros Elia received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA in 1997.
In 2001 and 2006 he received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

 

Teaching

He is currently Assistant Professor within the Department of Mobile Communications where he teaches classes on mobile communications.

 

Industrial experience

In 1997-99 he was an engineering consultant for MIOD Detection Technologies on signal-processing projects for Merck and Procter&Gamble. In 2006-07 he was a post-doctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego, UCSD, and a senior researcher at FTW Vienna.

 

Major research interest

He is interested in combining approaches from different sciences, such as mathematics, physics, and from information theory, complexity theory, and game theory, towards distributed decentralized communications, analyzing and optimizing communication networks, and exploring intersections and common mathematical models between communications-networks and biological networks.
Lately, he has been working in the fascinating area of "dynamic wireless networks", seeking to explore the behavior of general families of networks and to provide cross-layer strategies for communication, clustering and cooperation, that jointly act to mitigate the effects of rare events such as atypically bad environments and atypically intense information flows – all relating to small time duration. This is an exciting area that incorporates insights from information-theory, queueing-theory, large-deviations, statistical physics and discrete mathematics, towards analysis and optimization of large-scale systems which can change arbitrarily fast, and in which actions have a strict constraints.

 

Visibility, membership, committee

He has served as a technical reviewer for a variety of journals including IEEE-IT, IEEE-SP, FTN, IEEE-TWC, IEEE-JSAC He has served as a co-chair of WNC^3, Wiopt Conference, Limassol, Cyprus, April, 2007. He is currently actively involved with NEWCOM++ network of excellence.

 

 

Additional information

Current research topics
