About

Eleni Fotopoulou is a leading researcher in next-generation network orchestration, with a focus on 5G service platforms and software-defined infrastructures. Her most cited work, "5GTango: A Beyond-Mano Service Platform" (2018, 27 citations), redefines network management by proposing a framework that extends beyond traditional MANO (Management and Orchestration) architectures to support the diverse, low-latency demands of 5G verticals like eHealth, automotive, and Industry 4.0. This contribution is pivotal for enabling dynamic service chaining and resource slicing in complex, multi-tenant environments. Beyond this, Fotopoulou has advanced network function virtualization (NFV) and edge computing, addressing scalability and interoperability challenges in 5G deployments. Her research has been instrumental in shaping European 5G initiatives, bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world testbeds. With a growing citation footprint, her work is widely referenced by telecom engineers and cloud-native developers seeking to optimize next-generation networks. Fotopoulou’s achievements include leading EU-funded projects and publishing in top-tier conferences, cementing her role as a key architect of the programmable, service-aware 5G ecosystem.
