Dr Petros Karadimas

Profile

Petros Karadimas

karadimas


Petros Karadimas was born in Tripolis, Greece in 1977. He completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Patras, Greece, in 2002 and 2008, respectively. He is currently working as a research fellow in the Centre for Wireless Network Design (CWIND), Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Bedfordshire, UK. His current research interests include: stochastic and deterministic models for fixed and mobile wireless channels, statistical modelling of multipath scattering and Doppler spread in mobile communications and MIMO and diversity systems. He has participated in research projects concerning field measurements in the VHF and UHF frequency bands and as a technical consultant during the design of “Athens Antenna Park.” His main task was the modelling and characterization of wave propagation into the wireless environment, as well as the antenna design/selection.
