Antonis Manousis

I am a senior PhD student in the ECE department at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests lie in the intersection of networks and systems and my high-level goal is to enhance system reliability through performance predictability and insightful analytics. My thesis is on the design and development of scalable, real-time telemetry systems for approximate, multidimensional analytics, with a special focus on analytics for video streaming platforms. Prior, I also worked on building mechanisms for performance prediction in NFV.

I am very fortunate to have a great team supporting me. I am advised by Vyas Sekar and also collaborate very closely with Justine Sherry. Prior to CMU, I received my engineering diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (2015).

Random Things

Reading: A selection of books I read in 2020 and would recommend

Los hijos de los dias, by E. Galeano
Las armas secretas, by J. Cortazar
How to solve it, by G. Polya
Naked Money, by C. Wheelan

Cooking: I'm very much into Italian cuisine and Andrea is my guru
Languages: I'm a big language nerd and I take foreign language/culture classes for fun. If you're like me, then you might find the resources of CMU's department of modern languages really interesting!
Volunteering: When time permits, I volunteer at Zaatar, an Athens-based NGO that provides support to single refugee women and unaccompanied refugee minors. My help is limited to translating documents to/from Greek. Consider supporting their cause, their work is impressive.
