Alexandros Fragkiadakis MSc, PhD

Dr Fragkiadakis received his PhD degree in computer networks from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering of Loughborough University in UK. His thesis focused on active networks using programmable hardware (FPGAs).

He has also received an MSc in Digital Communications Systems, awarded with distinction, from the same University.

Alexandros obtained his Diploma degree in Electronics from the Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus.

He has worked as a Research Associate within the High Speed Networks Group of Loughborough University, in a project involving active networks and field programmable gate arrays. This project was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, a British Government's leading funding agency for research and training in engineering and the physical sciences.

Alexandros joined the Telecommunications and Networks Laboratory of the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas in November 2008.

His research interests include wireless networks, intrusion and anomaly detection in wireless networks, reprogrammable devices, open source architectures and cognitive radio networks.
