 was born in Athens, Greece in 1974. He currently lives with
his family in Anatoli, Ioannina and he is a Lecturer with subject: "Telecommunications
with emphasis on signal propagation" in Electronics Telecommunications
and Applications Lab of Physics Department of the University of Ioannina.
He received the B.Sc. degree in Physics from the University of Ioannina,
Greece, in 1997 and the M.Sc. degree in Electronics and Telecommunications
from the same University in 2000. His Master Thesis was entitled
"Real Data Transmission Network". He has a PhD degree in the field
of Software Defined Radios and Smart Antennas from the University of
Ioannina. He brings nearly twenty years of research experience in the field
of telecommunications and Electronics. His research experience starts in 1997
with participation in several research programmes funded by the European
community. From 2000 to 2004 he was a doctoral scholar at the Mobile
Communications Laboratory of the Institute of Informatics and
Telecommunications of N.C.S.R. "Demokritos", Athens, Greece. In Feb
2007 he joined Emphasis Telematics S.A as a R&D Project Manager in the
field of Regional Risk, Fleet Tracking and Management, Remote Monitoring and Telematics,
as well as Supply Chain Execution. From 2007 to 2008 and under Vasilis Christofilakis'
supervision, several ICT innovation projects, such as "Forest Fire Risk
Management Information System (FFRMIS)" and "Fleet Management
System, HGCCo-Lafarge Group, Project 120707" have been successfully
completed. From 2008 to 2014 he was employed as a Senior Researcher by
Siemens Enterprise Communications. As a Senior Researcher, in Siemens
Enterprise Communications, Dr. Vasilis Christofilakis worked in complex and
pioneering projects (eg. Magellan) in the field of unified communications.
His research interests include mainly Software Defined Radios and Cooperative
Network Systems, Smart Antennas - MIMO, Digital Signal Processing, Signal
Propagation, Signal attenuation due to precipitation, Schumann resonance
measurements, Object - Oriented Approaches for Wireless System. He has
authored or co-authored over 50 journals, book chapters, conference papers,
and technical reports on these topics. He has served as an Editor and
Reviewer for several Scientific Journals in the above fields. He has also
served as Evaluator for International Research Programs. He participated in
the committees of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th International Workshop on Biological
Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (BE-EMF) and the 3rd Pan-Hellenic
Conference on Electronics and Telecommunications (PACET). He is a member of
various scientific and academic societies. Within lifelong learning and
continuous professional development he has participated in several
conferences, seminars and trainings. In October 2010 he was elected Lecturer
of the University of Ioannina, Physics Department and his appointment was
completed on February 2014. He has teaching experience in higher education
