Dr. Zinonas Zinonos, Neapolis University of Paphos

Dr. Zinon Zinonos is a Lecturer at the Computer Science Department of the Neapolis University Pafos. He is also a co-director of the Intelligent Systems Research Lab. His research interests include IoT, wireless, ad hoc and sensor networks, mobility management in low power devices, adaptive topology control, intelligent systems, security in IoT and smart cities. He has published articles to journals and presented his work at several conferences organized by the computer science and communication networks community.

Dr. Loizos Michael, Open University of Cyprus and RISE Research Center on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and Emerging Technologies

Dr. Loizos Michael is an Associate Professor at Open University of Cyprus, where he founded and directs the Computational Cognition Lab, while also serving as the academic head of the cross-institutional M.Sc. Program in Cognitive Systems. He is a founding member of the Research Center of Excellence RISE, within which he leads the research pillar on Artificial Intelligence and Communications and the research group on Socially-Competent Robotic and Agent Technologies. His research focuses on the development of formal computational models for cognitive processes associated with individual or collective intelligence, drawing inspiration and using techniques from computational learning theory, knowledge representation and commonsense reasoning, and formal argumentation. He received a B.Sc. in Computer Science with a minor degree in Mathematics from University of Cyprus, graduating top of the class of 2002, and receiving the Republic of Cyprus Presidential Award. He continued his education at Harvard University, where he received an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) in 2008, under the supervision of Leslie Valiant. Before joining Open University of Cyprus in 2009, he held a visiting faculty appointment at University of Cyprus. Among others, he served as the PC chair of the 15th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence in 2016, and he has been organizing a workshop series on Cognitive Knowledge Acquisition since 2015.

Dr. Stelios Timotheou, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, University of Cyprus

Dr. Stelios Timotheou is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a faculty member at the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence, of the University of Cyprus. He received a B.Sc. from the Electrical and Computer Engineering School of the National Technical University of Athens, and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London. In previous appointments, he was a Research Associate at KIOS, a Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Cyprus, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on analysing data and making informed decisions in challenging environments, with the purpose of enhancing efficiency and delivering new capabilities in situational awareness and decision making. Towards this direction, he develops customised, real-time, distributed and cooperative methodologies and algorithms, drawing on theory from mathematical optimization, machine learning, statistical data processing and computational intelligence. The main application area of his research is critical infrastructure systems, with emphasis on intelligent transportation systems and wireless communications. Dr. Timotheou is the recipient of the 2017 ‘Cyprus Young Researcher in Physical Sciences & Engineering’ Award, by the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation. He is a member of ACM and a Senior Member of IEEE. He served as the Local Arrangements Chair of the European Control Conference in 2018, and as a Technical Committee Member in several international conferences and workshops including IEEE ICC, Globecom, WCNC, MASCOTS and ACM MobiHoc and MobiCom.
