Hercules Simos

Dr. Hercules Simos serves as a Researcher at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where he has been affiliated with the Optical Communications Laboratory since 1999 through national and European research projects.

His academic credentials include:

• B.S. in Informatics from the University of Athens (1998)
• M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Athens (2000)
• Ph.D. in all-optical wavelength conversion and regeneration subsystems for WDM telecommunication networks from the University of Athens (2007)

Dr. Simos specializes in semiconductor laser dynamics and photonic devices for all-optical processing and sensing applications. His research bridges theoretical modeling of semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers with practical implementations in signal processing subsystems, significantly advancing optical communication network technologies. Current work emphasizes photonic device innovation for next-generation sensing and signal regeneration systems.

He operates within the Photonics Technology Laboratory's Optical Communications Laboratory framework, contributing to Greece's national research infrastructure and EU-funded collaborative projects in photonics and telecommunications.
