Short Biography:
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the University of
Cyprus. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Penn
State University, working under the supervision of Professors
Mary Jane Irwin and Vijaykrishnan Narayanan, in the
areas of low-power computer architectures and reliable system
design. I was a member of the Embedded and Mobile Computing
Research Center at Penn State, where my research revolved
around the development of low-power and reliable
Systems-on-Chip, with emphasis in the underlying interconnection
architectures. I was also a member of the Gigascale Systems Research
Center (www.gigascale.org), where I collaborated with leading
researchers in the fields of low-power and reliable on-chip
interconnection networks. I was
honored with the Robert M. Owens Memorial Scholarship in May
2005.
Through the years, my research focused on
the design of reliable and low power embedded and application
specific processors, media processors and real-time digital
artificial intelligence applications. In particular, my students
and I explore
how the hardware itself is designed to be more efficient and how
to be able to adapt, using real-time computational intelligence
and machine learning techniques. Currently, we are looking into
how we can efficiently accelerate various computational
intelligence and machine vision algorithms to enable autonomous
and distributed collaboration between unmanned terrestrial and
aerial vehicles (drones). Furthermore, we are looking into how
these algorithms can efficiently address various IoT problems,
such as wearable sensor networks (Body Area Networks), smart
buildings and smart infrastructures, and distributed camera
networks.
I am directing the
Embedded and Application-Specific Lab at the Dept. of Electrical
and Computer Engineering and the KIOS Research and Innovation
Center of Excellence, where my students and I work on
several ongoing projects related to embedded and mobile
processors, embedded computer vision, embedded pattern
recognition and classification architectures and intelligent
system-level monitoring and dynamic reconfiguration for
performance, energy and reliability. Moreover, we work on
several projects related to computational intelligence, smart
camera networks, acceleration of big data applications such as
bioinformatics using heterogeneous computational platforms and
reconfigurable hardware, etc. You can visit the
KIOS website for
more information.
I am a senior member of the IEEE and a member of ACM, and I
currently serve as the Information Director of the ACM Journal
on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems and the IEEE
Design and Test of Computers, for which I also edit the TTTC
newsletter. I am also serving as an Associate Editor of the IEEE
Consumer Electronics Magazine, as an Associate Editor for the
ETRI Journal, and as an editor of the
Technology Newsletter of the IEEE Technical Committee on VLSI
systems. Moreover, I am
actively involved in the organizing committee and the technical
program committee of IEEE Computer Society's
ISVLSI
and the ACM/IEEE Great Lakes
VLSI Symposium. I also serve in the Technical Program
Committee of DATE
both as a topic co-chair and a TPC member.
I am also a member of the HiPEAC
Network of Excellence, and co-organizer for the annual
HiPEAC
Workshop on the Design for Reliability, and co-organizer for
the annual HiPEAC Workshop on Reconfigurable Computing.
