I am a Member of Academia Europaea (MAE), a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of IET (Institute of Engineering and Technology), a Fellow of BCS (British Computing Society) and a Distinguished Member (DM) of ACM.
My current research activities are focused on advancing new technologies related to communication and network systems, and on the fundamentals underlying them, including communication theory, algorithms, network science, machine learning and edge intelligence. In particular I am interested in energy aspects of future communication systems such as 6G, promoting energy self-sustainability via both energy efficiency (green communications and networking) and energy harvesting (wireless charging).
I have published 300+ technical papers and 2 monographs in the above areas. I have been managing research projects funded by various sources such as UK EPSRC, EU FP7/H2020 and industries (e.g., British Telecom). I coordinated one EU FP7 research project (EVANS). I have been a Judge of GSMA Global Mobile Awards (MWC-Barcelona) since 2019 and a member of UK EPSRC Peer Review College since 2008. I serve on editorial boards of both IEEE journals (e.g., IEEE TNSE, ComMag, WCL) and non-IEEE journals (e.g., Deputy EiC of IET Smart Cities). I have been actively organizing international conferences/symposia/workshops, such as IEEE ComSoc flagship conference Globecom. I am a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE ComSoc (2020-2021).
