He designed and deployed most of the Internet network infrastructure systems at the Media Lab. His research involves experimenting with wireless networks that are implemented using off-the-shelf, low-cost components to provide broadband Internet access to underserved areas. Before joining the Media Lab, he was a systems engineer at Aware, Inc., where he designed and wrote high-performance software libraries for Intel's distributed-memory parallel supercomputers, and was involved in the development of one of the first ADSL Internet-access test beds. He holds a diploma in electrical engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and an MS in computer engineering from Boston University.</p> </div> <!-- /content --> <div id="sub-content"> <img src="../../img/MichailBletsas.jpg" width="192" height="243" alt="Michail Bletsas" /> </div> <!-- /sub-content --> </div> <!-- /main-content --> </div> <!-- /main-body --> <div id="footer"> <p>Copyright © 2007 One Laptop Per Child</p> <p id="sponsor">Designed by <a href="http://www.pentagram.com" target="_blank">Pentagram</a> | <a href="http://www.nurun.com">Powered by Nurun</a></p> </div> <!-- /footer --> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-1264681-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
