About

Charalampos Orfanidis is a researcher focused on advancing wireless communication protocols for mobile and industrial applications, with a particular emphasis on Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) networks. His work addresses critical challenges in adapting TSCH—a highly reliable medium access protocol defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard—from static topologies to dynamic, mobile environments. Orfanidis’s major contributions include evaluating TSCH performance under heterogeneous mobile scenarios (13 citations) and establishing active connectivity fundamentals for TSCH networks of mobile robots (10 citations), both of which demonstrate how industrial-grade reliability can be extended to autonomous systems. His most recent work explores short-term wireless connectivity prediction for connected agricultural vehicles (2 citations), tackling real-world issues where cellular coverage is unreliable. By bridging the gap between static industrial protocols and the mobility demands of robots, autonomous vehicles, and smart agriculture, Orfanidis is helping to enable robust, low-latency communication in challenging operational environments. His research is particularly relevant for students and engineers working on the Internet of Things, industrial automation, and intelligent transportation systems.
