Christos is a member of the Systems and Networking Group of Microsoft Research at Cambridge, UK. His current work focuses on various topics such as content distribution, peer-to-peer networking, network coding (especially its applications for efficient content dissemination, see [Avalanche]), network topologies, and modelling of large-scale complex networks. Lately, I have been involved in measurement and modeling studies of some very cool services, such as the Windows Update service, FolderShare, and XBOX live. He is also very interested in wireless networking, with a special focus on content distribution.

He received my Ph.D. from the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA, USA. Under the supervision of Prof. Milena Mihail, he worked on analyzing the algorithmic performance of complex communication networks. You can find a copy of his thesis. While at Georgia Tech, he also collaborated with Prof. Mostafa Ammar, Ellen Zegura, and Constantinos Dovrolis. He did his undergrad at the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department of the University of Patras, Rio, Greece. He have also worked at Sprint Labs, CA, USA and in the Computer Technology Institute, Patras, Greece.
