CUT

Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) is a new, modern and innovative university aiming to become one the major means to address nowadays Science and Technology challenges, in an effort to overcome society’s problems. CUT research and academic staff is involved in various Research Activities and National and European Research Programmes. In details, CUT research and academic staff is involved in 248 Projects with a total funding / contribution over than 35m Euro (excluding funding coming from Consultancy Services and Private funding). Some of the greatest successes that have been achieved under the HORIZON2020 are the award of an ERC Consolidator grant with the acronym SOL-PRO and the participation in the Consortium of a TEAMING Project (Phase 2) with the acronym RISE. In addition, it has recently achieved funding of two TEAMING Projects (Phase 1) as the Host Institution. These projects ranked first (15/ 15) in the evaluation of the Programme TEAMING.

Dr. Marios Lestas, PhD (Principal Investigator, until August 2025)
Dr. Marios Lestas, PhD (Principal Investigator, until August 2025) received the B.A and M.Eng degrees in Electrical and Information Engineering from the University of Cambridge U.K and the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California in 2000 and 2006 respectively. He was affiliated with Frederick Research Center and an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Informatics of the School of Engineering at Frederick University until July 2025. Since August 2025, he is an Assistant Professor at the Cyprus University of Technology. His research interests include application of non-linear control theory and optimization methods in Intelligent Networks such as Computer Networks, Transportation Networks, Power Networks, Molecular Nano-networks and Metasurfaces. In the aforementioned networks he has investigated issues pertinent to congestion control, information dissemination, network vulnerability, demand response and more recently privacy and security. He has participated in a number of projects funded by the Research Promotion Foundation and the EU.

PI’s Welcome: Our project explores how Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) can enhance Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), especially in challenging environments where reliable V2V and V2X communication is essential. By investigating the impact of RIS on cooperative driving and collective perception, we aim to advance autonomous mobility research and strengthen Frederick Research Center (FRC)’s capacity to lead future innovations. Thank you for joining us on this journey toward safer, smarter, and more connected transportation.

The AUTOMETA Research Project (BRIDGE2HORIZON/0823A/004) is funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research and Innovation Foundation.
