N²Women Event

N²Women is pleased to announce the continuation of our N²Women Young Researcher Fellowship awards. N²Women considers you a young researcher if you are currently a student, working as a post-doc, or in the 1st or 2nd year of your new research career. N²Women fellows will be offered complimentary conference registration and up to 400EUR travel allowance will also be provided in case of travel to the meeting where an N²Women event will be held.

In exchange, the young researcher must help organize the N²Women meeting. The benefit of doing the organization, in addition to the travel funds, is for the young researcher to connect with the organizers of the conference who are, typically, leaders in the research field. We will arrange for a faculty or research member of N²Women to assist/mentor the young researcher in this task.

Support for this fellowship has been kindly provided by IEEE SmartComp 2022 conference.

The deadline for applications for SMARTCOMP 2022 is ***April 15th, 2022***.
Acceptance notification is 2 weeks after the application deadline.

Abstract In this talk, we will share and discuss our experience from entering academia and industry, the challenges that we confronted, the solutions that we found, and how we managed to step out of our comfort zone. Dr. Tsiropoulou will share her technical and women-in-engineering experience, presenting her diverse research portfolio, evolving from theory to practice. About the speaker Dr. Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico. She received her Diploma in ECE, MBA in techno-economics, and PhD in ECE from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 2008, 2010, and 2014, respectively. Her main research interests lie in the area of cyber-physical social systems and wireless heterogeneous networks, with emphasis on network modeling and optimization, resource orchestration in interdependent systems, reinforcement learning, game theory, network economics, and Internet of Things. Five of her papers received the Best Paper Award at IEEE WCNC in 2012, ADHOCNETS in 2015, IEEE/IFIP WMNC 2019, INFOCOM 2019 by the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling, and IEEE/ACM BRAINS 2020. She was selected by the IEEE Communication Society - N2Women - as one of the top ten Rising Stars of 2017 in the communications and networking field.
