Dr Georgia Sakellari was awarded her PhD in computer networks from Imperial College London, her MEng degree on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and her MSc in Techno-Economic Systems from the National Technical University of Athens. Prior to joining UEL, Georgia was a research associate at Imperial College London. She is a member of IEEE and IEEE Communications Society, since August 2006 and a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece since May 2003.

She is currently a lecturer at the School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering at the University of East London, UK and a visiting academic at Imperial college London, UK. She has taken part in several programme committees and in the organising committee of the ISCIS2010, ISCIS2011 conferences and the PerNEM2010, PERNEM2012 workshops. She has more than 10 publications in highly rated journals (such as ACM transactions, the Computer Journal, Performance Evaluation) and conferences (such as IEEE GLOBECOM, ACM CCS, IEEE MASS). Her research interests include network routing protocols, self-aware networks, admission control in QoS-driven networks, maintaining QoS during failures and most recently energy consumption in computer networks.
