 SUMMARY  

Eleni Palkopoulou received her Diploma degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece in 2005 and her MSc. in Communications Engineering from the Munich University of Technology (TUM), Germany in 2007. In September 2011 she joined the High Speed Networks and Optical Communications Research Group of Athens Information Technology (AIT) . Prior to AIT she was with the Multi-Layer Networks and Resilience Group of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) Research in Munich and with Siemens, Corporate Technology in Munich. In parallel, as of February 2008 she is pursuing her PhD with the Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany. Her research interests include network architectures, multi-layer network planning and optimization, techno-economic studies, heterogeneous optical networks, resilience mechanisms, grooming, and routing. She is the co-recipient of the Best Paper Award of the 7th International Workshop on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN) 2009.
