Dimitrios Tsoukalas holds an Integrated Master’s Degree in Information and Communications Systems Engineering from the University of Aegean, Greece, completed in 2023. His Master’s thesis investigated Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) Modulation for high-speed telecommunications applications, with a focus on signal processing using MATLAB to compare OTFS and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies. In 2025, he graduated from a Postgraduate Program in AI & ML: Business Applications at The University of Texas at Austin, where he developed expertise in machine learning techniques, including neural networks, large language models (LLMs), and reinforcement learning.

Dimitrios has gained industry experience as a Full Stack Developer at Itec GmbH in Austria, where he developed internal web applications. As a Machine Learning Engineer Intern at Desion GmbH in Germany, he designed a 3D simulation leveraging reinforcement learning and the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm to train robotic systems for real-world tasks, such as catching a moving cloth using a robotic hand and 3D camera.

Currently, Dimitrios is a Marie Curie Doctoral Candidate at Iquadrat in Barcelona, Spain, as part of the 6GTERRAIN project (DC6: IQU-2). His research focuses on intent translation and actuation, exploring LLM-based systems to translate human language into Infrastructure Level Intent (ILI) and implementing self-managed control loops for intent actuation in next-generation 6G networks. His work aims to advance intelligent and autonomous network management for future telecommunications systems.
