Improved the design of the novel MAC/PHY-layer protocol that was drafted in my summer ‘07 internship. Derived mathematical models that describe the MAC protocol’s behaviour and interaction with reliable transport layer protocols like TCP. A couple of patents to be filed. Supervisors: Dr. Kevin Yu, Phil Gossett, Mike Gunter, Dr. Greg Chesson.
Designed parts of a novel MAC/PHY-layer protocol for wireless networks. Invented a light-weight and fast association and handoff protocol and at the same time contributed significantly to the scheduling part. Supervisors: Phil Gossett, Mike Gunter, Dr. Kevin Yu.
Diploma Thesis: “Development of an extensible network platform for real time data collection and fusion in intelligent vehicles’ networks”. The thesis was carried out in close collaboration with the I-SENSE group of ICCS (Institute of Communications and Computer Systems - Greece). The platform (implemented in 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 is now being extended from I-SENSE researchers and used for testing of data fusion algorithms. Supervisor: Prof. Uzunoglu (NTUA).
Mathematically solved the problem of controlling the SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron) beam steering dipole magnets of the T4 target. Also developed a computation and visualization tool (Java) to produce the necessary magnets currents configuration based on user input for desired primary and secondary beams energies. Work published by CERN. Supervisors: Dr. Efthymiopoulos Ilias, Dr. Chauchaix Bruno.
