Biography
Xenofon Vasilakos is a Lecturer at the University of Bristol, the UK. His research is aligned with Bristol Digital Futures Institute (BDFI) and Smart Internet Lab (SIL). He is currently the lead researcher of the Zero Downtime Edge Application Mobility (ZeroDEAM) project funded by Samsung Electronics UK. He received the MSc degree in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and the PhD degree in informatics from the Athens University of Economics and Business with a focus on Information-Centric Networking architectures, protocols, and distributed solutions. He has participated in various EU and national funded research projects such as 5GPPP SliceNet and the FIA award-winning FP7 project PURSUIT. His current research interests include 5G and 6G focusing on Multi-access Edge Computing based on cognition approaches inspired by machine learning models towards Zero-touch network and Service Management. He is also involved in 5G/6G-related research on the Internet of Things, Software-Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and network Slicing. Dr Vasilakos was a recipient of an excellence fellowship grant from the French government (LABoratoires d’EXcellence), and has received an accolade and awards for his academic performance from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation.
