Nikos C. Sagias was born in Athens, Greece in 1974. He received the BSc degree from the department of Physics (DoP) of the University of Athens (UoA), Greece in 1998. The MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunication Engineering were received both from the UoA in 2000 and 2005, respectively. Between 2001 and 2012, he took part in various National and European Research & Development projects for the Institute of Space Applications and Remote Sensing of the National Observatory of Athens, Greece. During 2006-2008, was a Postdoc research scholar at the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National Centre for Scientific Research-"Demokritos", Athens, Greece. In 2008 he we was appointed as an assistant professor in the Department of Informatics & Telecommunications at the University of Peloponnese, in Tripolis, Greece, where currently is a Professor. Between 2014-16 and 2018-2020 he served as the Chair of DIT.
Dr. Sagias research interests span the broad area of digital communications, and more specifically include wireless and mobile communication systems, satellite communications, information theory, modulation and coding, multiple input – multiple output (ΜΙΜΟ) systems, communications theory, statistical telecommunications, multihop networks, signal processing for communications, fading channels, and optical-wireless communication systems. In his record, he has sixty-nine (69) papers in prestigious international journals and fifty (50) in the proceedings of world recognized conferences. For his published work, he has received more than 3000 and 4000 citations in Scopus and Google Scholar, respectively.
For five (5) years (between 2009-14) Dr. Sagias was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, while before 2009 he had served as an Editor for AEÜ - International Journal of Electronics and Communications and IETE Technical Review. Additionally, he is serving as a reviewer and TPC member for various IEEE conferences (GLOBECOM, ICC, VTC, etc). He is a co-recipient of the best paper award in communications in the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Istanbul, Turkey, May 2014 and 3rd International Symposium on Communications, Control and Signal Processing (ISCCSP), Malta, March 2008. He is a senior member of the IEEE and IEEE Communications Society as well as the Hellenic Physicists Association.
His teaching experience spans over more than sixteen (16) years. He has taught both at the under- and the post-graduate level, and the list of courses taught includes core as well as elective courses in the Computer Science and/or Electrical Engineering curriculum such as Digital Systems, Digital Logic Design, Computer Architecture, Microprocessors, Assembly, Analog Communications, Computer Networks, Digital Communications, Satellite Communications, Simulation of Telecommunication Systems, Information Theory, Coding, Design Logic, Digital Communications, Information Theory, Equalizers, Signal Processing for Communications, and Mobile Communications.
