About

Angelos Mimidis is a researcher at the forefront of telecommunications and cloud computing, with a primary focus on the convergence of 5G networks and cloud-native technologies. His work addresses a critical inflection point in telecom history: the moment when 5G standards emerged alongside the deep transformation of industries by cloud infrastructure. Mimidis’s major contribution lies in pioneering the concept of a next-generation Platform as a Service (PaaS) specifically designed for telco operators, enabling them to "cloudify" service deployments. His most cited paper, "The Next Generation Platform as a Service Cloudifying Service Deployments in Telco-Operators Infrastructure" (2018), has garnered 13 citations and argues that 5G must become a ubiquitous fabric blending universal connectivity with cloud-native innovation to succeed. By advocating for this paradigm shift, Mimidis has helped bridge the gap between traditional telecom infrastructure and modern cloud architectures, influencing how operators can dynamically deploy and manage services. His work is particularly notable for identifying the strategic necessity of making 5G innovations cloud-native, a vision that continues to shape research and development in next-generation networks.
