Biography

I am working as a Research Fellow with Prof. Dimitrios Georgakopoulos at the Internet of Things Lab. I joined Swinburne in October 2018. My research interests are in the areas of Internet of Things, Wireless Networking, Indoor Positioning and Context Awareness. 

I previously graduated with a Phd from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2012. My doctoral studies focused on reduction of overhead costs in wireless networks, with a particular focus on leveraging wireless broadcast advantage. Subsequently, I worked at Institut Telecom, France, focusing on self-organization in wireless and vehicular networks through the use of evolutionary algorithms. Between 2012 and 2016, I worked with Samsung R&D India – Bangalore, where my primary focus was the design and development of networking middleware for smartphones, addressing multiple issues in connectivity management encompassing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Cellular Data. Immediately preceding my role at Swinburne, I worked as a software architect with Bosch India, building systems for IoT enabled environments. Here, I led the development of an edge based indoor positioning platform for large scale retail environments. I also worked on building a decentralized IoT system for electric mobility.
