I work at the Laboratory of Internet Computing at the University of Cyprus. The laboratory, focuses its research activities in the areas of Cloud computing, Edge Computing and Big Data Analytics. I am currently working on a project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework, named RAINBOW. RAINBOW is a novel framework for Fog services development, orchestration, deployment and continuous management. Previously I worked on a project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework, named UNICORN. UNICORN is a novel framework for multi-cloud services development, orchestration, deployment and continuous management.

Responsibilities include:

• Performing cutting-edge research in the area of Cloud and Edge Computing
• Scienticfic writing and presentations at international scientific forums
• Reviewing papers from academic conferences and journals
• Mentoring undergraduate students for their software projects and thesis implementations.

I’ve been introduced to functional programming concepts and software design patterns. I developed an open-source library written in Elm (https://github.com/zgeorg03/table-elm) for a generic html table with sorting, pagination, filtering and some other useful functionalities.

Participated in a two weeks program called ”Seeds for the future” organized by Huawei. I’ve been trained at Huawei’s campus on their networking equipment in Shenzhen. The training consisted of various lectures and practice on real hardware in Mobile Internet Application Development Trend, Intelligent Network Application and Development Trend, and Cloud Pipe Devices.

My work was about developing a simulator using Java in order to compare different algorithms for prefetching data, for indoor navigation in intermittently connected wifi networks. The prefetching technique fetches the paths that a user is more likely to navigate, when connection exists. When connection is lost, the prefetched data can improve accuracy.

My work was about developing a Universal Remote Controller. URC offers the ability to control home appliances that support infared technology, from any place using the internet. I developed a small web server using Flask microframework, running on raspberry Pi, which you could record infared signals(air-condition, tv), store them in adatabase(MySQL) and transmit them remotely using the web site.

My job was to find the representative regions of SPEC CPU 2006 benchmarks suit using pin tool and simalpha (cycle accurate CPU simulator). The representative region of a benchmark is a block of code that has specific properties. Condor, gnuplot and some basic commands in Linux were used during this internship.
