Nikolaos Bezirgiannidis

Nikolaos Bezirgiannidis was born and raised in Orestiada, in 1983. He received a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering  from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 2006. Nikolaos also received his M.Sc. and his PhD in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, in 2010, and 2015 respectively. He has worked on several projects funded by the European Space Agency and the European Commission and published various research papers. Nikolaos has also served as a visiting researcher in NASA, JPL, and in ESA, ESOC, where he investigated issues related to DTN and Space Internetworking.
