George Nomikos

Based in FORTH-ICS, Heraklion, Greece

I work as a research engineer in INSPIRE group in FORTH-ICS. My research interests primarily include Internet routing, Internet topology and network security. My main target is to better understand how the Internet ecosystem evolves, improve the transparency of the Internet with respect to the paths (i.e. AS-, IXP-, Facility- level) the data go through and evaluate network performance under security constraints. To that end, I organise and deploy advanced networking measurements and simulations, using also analytical tools like graph theoretic approaches, social-driven heuristics and modeling traffic characteristics.
