About

My name is Christos Tsiaras (Χρήστος Τσιάρας in Greek), I am a member of the Communication Systems Group (CSG) since September 2011. At the same time, I joined the department of Informatics (IFI), of the University of Zurich (UZH) in Switzerland and became a Ph.D. candidate, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Stiller.

On March 2011, I received my M.Sc. In Computer Science, with a specialization in Computer and Communication Networks, from the department of Informatics of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) in Greece. During my M.Sc. I 've worked with Dr. Stavros Toumpis on “Efficient Minimization of routing cost in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs)”.

I hold a Degree in Physics from the University of Crete (UOC) in Greece. During my undergraduate studies I focused on the field of Computational Physics.
