Anthony Boucouvalas

Anthony Boucouvalas has worked at GEC Hirst Research Centre, and became a Group Leader and a Divisional Chief Scientist until 1987 when he joined Hewlett Packard (HP) Laboratories as a Project Manager, where he worked in the areas of optical communication systems, optical networks, and instrumentation until 1994, when he joined Bournemouth University. In 1996, he became a Professor of multimedia communications and in 1999, he became the Director of the Microelectronics and Multimedia Research Centre. In 1996, he joined the University of Peloponnese as a Professor and now the Head of the department. His current research interests span the fields of wireless communications, optical fibre communications and components, multimedia communications, and human-computer interfaces, where he has published over 200 papers. He has contributed to the formation of IrDA as an industry standard and he is now a Member of the IrDA Architectures Council. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce (FRSA) and a Fellow of IEE (FIEE). In 2002, he became a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (FIEEE) for contributions to optical fibre components and optical wireless communications. He is a Member of the New York Academy of Sciences, and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He is an Editor of numerous journals and in the organising committees of many conferences.
