Overview

Dr. Nikos Komninos obtained his PhD in 2003 from Lancaster University (UK), specialising in Communication Systems with a focus on Information Security. He is currently a Senior Lecturer (US System: Associate Professor) in Cyber Security within the Department of Computer Science at City St George’s, University of London. Before his current position, he held teaching and research roles at the University of Cyprus, Carnegie Mellon University in Athens (Athens Information Technology), the University of Piraeus, the University of the Aegean, and Lancaster University.

From 2003 to 2007, he held the position of Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Communication Systems at Lancaster University. Additionally, he served as a visiting faculty member at the University of Cyprus and was part of the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in Athens from 2005 to 2013. Several of his research innovations have been patented and implemented in mobile phones by telecommunications companies, cryptographic devices utilised by defence contractors, and healthcare applications adopted by national health systems.

Since 2000, he has served as a researcher or principal investigator in numerous European and national research and development projects related to information security, as well as systems and network security. He has authored or co-authored over 80 publications, including journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings within his areas of expertise. Additionally, he has been invited to conferences and government departments, and has provided training to employees within the Greek and UK industries.
