معرفی
Fotios Stavrou is an Assistant Professor at the Communication Systems Department of EURECOM, a leading research institution in France. His academic journey includes a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2008), a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cyprus (2016), and postdoctoral research at Aalborg University (2016–2017) and KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2017–2021). Currently, he leads research in goal-oriented semantic communication, networked control systems, and interdisciplinary applications combining control theory, communication, optimization, and AI.
His research focuses on semantic-aware communication paradigms, emphasizing the mathematical framework of information significance and utility. Key areas include rate-distortion-perception theory, digital twin-enabled optical networks, and AI-driven automation. He actively contributes to projects like the EU-funded 6G-GOALS initiative, aiming to integrate AI-native networks and semantic communication for future 6G systems.
Notable achievements include a Best Poster Award at MenaML 2025 and a Best Paper Award at ACP 2023. His work spans over 40 publications, with recent focus on optimizing communication systems for semantic efficiency, digital twin applications, and resource allocation under uncertainty. He mentors PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, fostering innovation in both theoretical and applied domains.
Current projects involve autonomous optical network management, leveraging digital twins and large language models, alongside foundational studies in rate-distortion-perception functions. His research bridges fundamental theory with practical implementations, addressing challenges in 5G/6G networks and networked control systems.
