Short Bio

I am a faculty member at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Arizona. Before joining the University of Arizona, I was a Co-director of the Network Security Lab at the University of Washington. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington. I obtained my undergraduate diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. My current research interests are in the areas of networking, distributed systems, focusing on identification, modeling and mitigation of network security vulnerabilities in wireless networks and analysis of network performance.
