Biography

At the CSIRO ICT Centre, Dimitrios is the Director of the Information Engineering Laboratory that focuses in the areas of service oriented computing, semantic web and semantic data management, sensor information management, language and social computing, and information retrieval. In 2008-09, Dimitrios also served as the Theme Leader of CSIRO's Service Science, Technologies, and Architectures (SSTA) Theme.

Before coming to CSIRO in October 2008, Dimitrios held research and management positions in several industrial laboratories in the US. From 2000 to 2008, he was a Senior Scientist with Telcordia, where he helped found Telcordia’s Research Centers in Austin, Texas, and Poznan, Poland. In Telcordia, Dimitrios led several multi-million, multi-year, externally funded research projects in the US, Europe, and Taiwan, in areas that included service computing, complex event processing in video and sensors systems, large-scale collaboration, and operation support systems for advanced broadband services involving high speed data, VoIP, and gaming.

From 1997 to 2000, Dimitrios was a Technical Manager in the Information Technology organization of Microelectronics and Computer Corporation (MCC), and the Chief Architect of MCC’s Collaboration Management Infrastructure (CMI) consortial project that was funded by Raytheon, SAIC, Telcordia, and TRW (currently Northrop Grumman).

From 1990-1997 Dimitrios was a Principal Scientist at GTE (Verizon) Laboratories Inc., where he led several multi-year R&D projects in the areas of workflow management and distributed object management systems. Before GTE/Verizon Dimitrios was Member of Technical Staff in Bellcore (1989) and worked as an independent consultant in the Houston Medical Center where he designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercial systems for performing computerized patient diagnosis (1986-1988). In the mid 90’s Dimitrios also served as adjunct Faculty at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts.
