 Vasilis Christofilakis was born in Athens, Greece, in 1974. He
currently lives with his family in Anatoli, Ioannina, and he is an Associate
Professor with the subject "Telecommunications with an Emphasis on
Signal Propagation" in the Electronics, Telecommunications, and
Applications Lab of the 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 has nearly twenty-five years of research experience in the field of
telecommunications and electronics. His research experience started 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 February 2007, he joined Emphasis Telematics S.A. as a
R&D Project Manager in the fields 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 at
Siemens Enterprise Communications, Dr. Vasilis Christofilakis
worked on complex and pioneering projects (e.g., 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, and object- approaches to wireless systems. He has authored or
co-authored over 80 journals, book chapters, conference papers, and technical
reports on these topics (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6751-4557). He has
served as an editor and reviewer for several scientific journals in the above
fields. He has also served as an 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 and 4th Pan-Hellenic Conference on Electronics and
Telecommunications (PACET). He is a member of various scientific and academic
societies. Through lifelong learning and continuous professional development,
he has participated in several conferences, seminars, and trainings.
He has teaching experience in higher
education since 1998 in the Department of Physics, University of Ioannina,
offering: a) auxiliary teaching; b) self-teaching at the undergraduate and
postgraduate levels; c) supervising and mentoring undergraduate and graduate
students. Additionally, he participated as a consultant in several MSc theses
and PhD dissertations in the field of telecommunications and electronics.
Since 2007, he has developed a strong administrative activity, initially in
the R&D sector, and since 2014 and beyond in the academic field.
