Bio
I’m an electrical engineer and data scientist working at the intersection of AI/ML and mission-critical industries such as industrial automation, wireless networks and others. I am the author of an upcoming book “Engineering AI Agents”, the cultivation of spending several years at NJIT and NYU where I am lecturing on such topics.
I attended the University of West Attica (Greece) back in the late 80s and as a scholar of the National Scholarship Foundation I studied Telematics at the University of Surrey where I earned by Masters degree in 1991. Motivated by the explosion of the wireless revolution I then earned my Ph.D under Prof Rahim Tfazolli and Prof Barry Evans in 1994 while in parallel working for Philips Research Labs.
After a short stint at Intracom SA, I joined Lucent Technologies in 1996 and joined Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ in 1998 where I worked at the vernerable Performance Analysis Department. I live in NJ since then. I moved around multiple departments including the chief technology office, standards and others leading teams and various projects on wireless communications and intelligent antennas. Lucent became Alcatel-Lucent and finally Nokia and during my 20-year tenure I received two Bell Labs President’s awards.
In 2020 I joined academia as Professor of Practice in the CS department at NJIT and as an adjunct professor at NYU - positions that I still hold.
In 2020, I created Aegean AI Inc to provide for various industries AI and ML solutions. Our work on COVID-19 has been featured in the media here - currently we work on industrial automation for various customers.
