Over the past 25 years, Ioannis Tomkos has managed teams that participated in industry R&D projects and in a large number of EU-funded projects (over 30 in total; 14 just in FP7 and 3 in 6G SNS) with a consortium-wide leading role (including being Technical Manager/Project Coordinator of 11 major EU projects with a total budget of over 55M€). For his group alone, he has raised over 12M€ in funding.

He is a Fellow of the IET (2010), OSA (2012) and of IEEE (2018). He has co-authored over 650 journal articles & conference proceedings papersand (over 420 entries at IEEE Xplore). He served as the Chair of the “Optical Networking” Technical Committee of IEEE Communications Society. He was also Chairman of the “Optical Communications” Group at OSA and the “Optical Networking” at IFIP. He has been Chair or member of the organizing committees for major conferences in telecommunications/networking (more than 150). In addition he was a member of the Editorial Boards of several IEEE/OSA Journals (Deputy EiC of JLT).

He has been awarded for pioneering and innovative contributions in the deployment of next generation access networks in Greece.

His published work has received over 13.500 citations (h-index=55 with m-index>2.5). He is included in the “Top H-Index” list of scientists working in the fields of “Computer Science and Electronics” (https://lnkd.in/gYwzYY4), while his articles have received over 200.000 reads at ResearchGate (therefore being one of the most published and read Greek authors in the field of electrical engineering and among the top worldwide on core/access/datacenter networks)

ECE_Y210

Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering Science (Telecommunications)

In this first-year course, students have the opportunity to learn several fundamental aspects of network structures. Research and tutorial papers are provided focusing primarily on Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks and Free-Space Optical Communications (FSO).

ECE_Y524

Communication Systems

This course delves into communication systems, both analog and digital. It explores the core concepts, components, and historical evolution of these systems, with a particular focus on modulation techniques, noise considerations, digitization processes, and transmission methods. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of information transmission and reception, the challenges of maintaining signal integrity, and the strategies employed to address them.

ECE_Y621

Electrical Measuring Devices & Measuring Techniques (Telecommunications)

This course dives into the measurement of telecommunication system performance. It starts with a brief overview of the basic structure of a telecommunications system. You’ll then learn about the key phenomena that can affect the quality of the signal received at the end of the transmission path. The course explores basic methods used to characterize the quality of the received signal. It goes deeper into specific methods for measuring and evaluating signal quality, including Eye Diagrams, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Bit Error Rate (BER) / Symbol Error Rate (SER), Quality Factor (Q-factor), and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). Finally, the course explores techniques for correlating the estimated error rate with other measured parameters like SNR, Q-factor, and EVM.
