Sofia Pediaditaki

I am currently a final year PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh.

My supervisor is Dr. Mahesh K. Marina,  and I am part of the Wireless & Mobile networking (WiMo) research group. My PhD thesis focuses on the design of adaptive spectrum management mechanisms for 802.11 outdoor mesh networks.

Before starting my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, I obtained my MSc in 2006 in Computer Science also at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr. Stratis Viglas and a BSc in Computer Science in 2004 from the University of Crete, Greece.

Research Interests

My research interests are in the following areas:
  • Wireless networking
  • Protocols for next-generation wireless networks
  • Self-organising networks/Multi-agent systems
