Dorin PANAITOPOL

Holds a Joint-PhD Degree in Telecommunications and Signal Processing from both Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité (SUPELEC) and National University of Singapore (NUS). Previously with NEC (from 2010 to 2014), he joined THALES in 2014 as R&D engineer. Since 2010 he has been involved in several European projects such as QoSMOS, SACRA, OneFIT, Concerto, EMPhAtiC (FP7), SHARING (CELTICPlus), CORRIDOR (ANR), COHERENT (H2020), ARTES (HELENA) and SNS (6G-NTN).
