George A. Heliotis

George A. Heliotis is a telecommunications engineer at the Division of Labs and New Technologies (R&D department) of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (OTE) SA and Deputy Head of its Access Networks Lab. He graduated from the University of Crete (Greece) with a BSc in physics and also holds a MSc, and a PhD in opto-electronics/photonics from Imperial College London (UK). Prior to joining OTE S.A. he held positions in a variety of academic and industrial institutions, where he was mainly engaged on the design, development and testing of novel opto-electronic devices and systems targeting a wide range of optical communication applications. His current work focuses on the design and evaluation of next-generation access network systems and architectures, mainly involving FTTH and FTTN+VDSL2 implementations. His research interests include photonics devices and systems, all-optical ultrafast networks, FTTx technologies, NGN architectures and services, and xDSL networks. He has participated in several academic and industrial international projects relating to novel optical- and copper-based network systems and infrastructures, and has authored or co-authored more than 60 publications in high-profile scientific journals and conferences.
