Telcordia Fellows

Petros Mouchtaris (2011)
Petros Mouchtaris has demonstrated a rare combination of business acumen, technical ability, and managerial excellence. He has demonstrated the ability to enter a new technical field and rapidly become an acknowledged contributor in the area; and along with that, he has shown the ability to generate a sustainable business in the area, starting with little or no traction in the field. Petros has played a key role in the growth of Telcordia's Applied Research organization over the past 10 years.

For example, Petros led Telcordia's entry into the area of security for wireless ad hoc networks. He grew our business in this area from almost zero to over $32M over the past 10 years. He was the Principal Investigator for projects funded in this area by two of AR's biggest customers, DARPA and CERDEC, and contributed to many other proposals and technical efforts. He wrote the first book on the topic which has also been translated in Chinese. Petros has made many similar contributions in the areas of Voice over IP, wireless networks, cyber security, and more recently in security for the Smart Grid.

Dean Rader (2011)
As an industry leader, Dean Rader presented and published several papers in the area of Fiber Optics and NGN OSS technology. He has received patents for a fiber optic connector measuring device and in OSS Support for Control Plane Technology.

Dean started his career as a Fiber Optics Engineer in Professional Services where he was responsible for standards development and testing of fiber media and components. He also served as the subject matter expert for fiber optic connectors.

Dean then moved to the software side of Telcordia as a Solutions Architect where he has established himself as the chief Telcordia expert in OSS support of optical network technologies. He has guided and continues to guide the evolution of OSS technology from SONET to WDM to multi-degree ROADM to OTN. Dean has the implicit trust of his customers which has enabled the Telcordia Core OSS systems to remain closely aligned with the cutting edge technologies of the network element providers and has allowed service providers to rapidly and effectively deploy these new technologies within their networks. These Core OSS systems manage the metro/regional network infrastructures that transport the vast majority of telecommunications traffic throughout the United States.
