I was born and raised in Volos (map), in 1969.
In 1986 I moved to Patras (map) for my Diploma studies at the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics.
My main research interests are in artificial
intelligence at large, but especially so in machine learning. My
projects have dealt with decision trees, genetic algorithms, neural
networks and reinforcement learning, quite often combining those
techniques. Applied research with these techniques has also dealt with
the development of educational intelligence as well as strategy
games. I am also especially keen in investigating how research results
can be translated into meaningful learning material.
I have been also involved in most of the efforts to
pilot-test collaborative technologies and then deploy them at a large
scale (such as virtual classrooms and portals) at the Hellenic Open
University, where I now serve as Assistant Professor in Artificial Intelligence. I am also involved in the teaching of a postgraduate module in the Open University of Cyprus. I have also worked as an evaluation expert for a branch of the European Commission and I have served as General Secretary of the Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Society and as a member of the Organising Committee of the 18th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Patras, 2008). |
