Hello, hello! I am George, a first year MSc student at the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Crete (TUC) and proud to be advised by Aggelos Bletsas.

 

I received my 5-year Diploma from the TUC in October 2010. During my undergraduate studies I received academic achievement scholarship (top 10% of class) for the academic year 2007-2008 from TUC. I also received a graduate studies fellowship award in October 2010. The last year of my undergraduate studies, was spent on the completion of my diploma thesis under the guidance and supervision of Athanasios Liavas.  

 

Moreover, since February 2010 I have been part of Prof. Bletsas research group, working on creating a wireless sensor network, from first principles, towards precision agriculture. We still work on this project in an attempt to optimize both the software and hardware that we developed last year.

 

Currently, apart from working as a teaching assistant for the undergraduate course "Analysis and Synthesis of Telecom Modules" I attend two graduate courses. My research work focuses on the design and implementation of a receiver structure for a simple, zero-feedback, collaborative beamforming scheme proposed for Emergency Radio by Prof. Bletsas.

My primary research fields of interest are relevant to communication systems, Software Defined Radio systems (SDRs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) but I also intend to work on backscatter radio which permits minimal energy use.
