Here I include information about my PhD students and their topics, including opportunities for future students. I also include information on MSc and final year undergraduate projects.

Current PhD students

• Lorenzo Saino started his PhD at UCL in October 2011, having done the MSc in Telecommunications in 2007-08. He is looking at aspects related to Information-Centric Networking (ICN).

• Daphne Tuncer started her PhD at UCL in November 2009. She is looking at self-management aspects for inteligent adaptive network optimisation, focusing at load balancing and resilience aspects.

• Joao Araujo started his PhD at UCL in October 2008. He is looking at combining congestion control and traffic engineering through transport and network layer cooperation.

• Spiros Spirou is a part-time PhD student who works as a research engineer in Intracom, Greece. He is looking at future content networks and is collaborating with us in the COMET project.

I am always looking for good PhD students and in particular now that I have joineded UCL as I am looking for new PhD students. You may send your CV initially to me in order to advise you for the possibility of funding before applying formally. A more plausible path to obtain a scholarship for a PhD is by doing first a MSc and doing very well / getting a distinction; this increases significantly the chances of a scholarship.
