Profile
Petros 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.
