Dr. Fotios Katsilieris Research scientist Personal Information Address Pers. E-mail Prof. e-mail LinkedIn Date of birth Nationality Gender Bonn, Germany. [email protected]. [email protected]. http://nl.linkedin.com/in/FotiosKatsilieris/. 28 Dec. 1983. Hellenic (Greece). Male. Professional interests & activities Current Past My professional interests are in the broad area covering signal processing, target tracking, data fusion, and sensor management. I perform research on sensor management and specifically on multifunction radar resource management for improving its surveillance and tracking performance. I employ tools from the fields of optimization, information theory, statistics, (stochastic) signal processing, detection theory, data fusion, and threat assessment. In my MSc studies, I focused on the field of robotics and automatic control. I used extensively Matlab, Simulink, C/C++ and LabView. Furthermore, I took courses on project and industrial management. I applied successfully these skills as a team leader of a project course in Automatic Control, where our team was the winning one. In the early years of my studies, I was also interested in power systems, power generation, distribution, and the applications of automatic control theory in these fields. Work Experience 2015-04 – present Scientist, Sensor Data and Information Fusion department, Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany, I work on radar resource management for surveillance and tracking.

I worked on the efficient resource management of multifunction radars for performing surveillance and target tracking, see [4, 5, 6, 7]. I also established collaboration with two more institutes and I visited them, see the following two Visiting Researcher positions. This position was part of the MC Impulse Initial Training Network. Furthermore, I was the administrator of the MC Impulse website.
