Vasileios K. Sakarelloswas born in France on November 27, 1980. He received the five year engineering degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 2004 and the PhD degree in Wireless Cooperative Telecommunications from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 2010. His scientific interests are in the field of channel modelling, wireless link design, cooperative diversity techniques in fading channels and wireless communication network analysis. He has been awarded with the K. Karatheodoris Fund and the Fundamental Research 2009 Fund from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. He has published 14 scientific articles in international refereed journals and proceedings of international conferences. He is a student member of the IEEE and a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece.
