Short CV
Maria Papadopouli (Ph.D. Columbia University, October 2002) is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Crete, a guest professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, in Stockholm, and a research associate in FORTH-ICS. From July 2002 until June 2006, she was a tenure-track assistant professor at UNC (on leave from July 2004 until June 2006). Her current research interests are in wireless networking, modeling and performance analysis, network measurements, cognitive radio networks, mobile peer-to-peer computing, positioning, and pervasive computing. She had proposed one of the first peer-to-peer architectures for enabiling users with intermittent connectivity to the Internet to share resources and disseminate information, initiating the mobile peer-to-peer computing area. Also, she was one of the first to statistically analyze and evaluate the performance of wireless local area networks using real-world traces.
She has co-authored a monograph on Peer-to-Peer Computing for Mobile Networks: Information Discovery and Dissemination (Springer Eds. 2009). Several of her papers have received a honourable mention. She has been the co-chair of nine international workshops in the area of wireless networks and mobile peer-to-peer computing. She has given more than 25 invited talks in research labs and universities world-wide. In 2004 and 2005, she was awarded with an IBM Faculty Award, while in 2012, her research was also funded by the General Secretariat for Research and Technology, Program “Αριστεία”, Research Excellence (investigator-driven).
