Antonis Manousis

I defended my thesis, "Real-Time Telemetry Systems for Multidimensional Streaming Data: A Case Study on Video Viewership Analytics", in October 2021 and will soon be joining Facebook NYC as a Research Scientist.

I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. During my PhD, I was very fortunate to have a great team supporting me. I was advised by Vyas Sekar and also collaborated very closely with Justine Sherry. Prior to CMU, I received my engineering diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (2015).

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.
