Education

📚 From September 1968 to June 1974, completed secondary education, earning a Certificate of High School Graduation in Science. 🎓 Pursued a Diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Electronics at the National Technical University of Athens from October 1974 to July 1979. 📜 From February to June 1983, obtained a Certificate of Educational Studies from PATES of SELETE, Greece. 📖 Achieved a Bachelor in Theology from the University of Athens, completed between October 1979 and December 1987. 🎓 Earned an MSc in Information Technology from the University of Nottingham in 1989, followed by a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the same university in 1992. 🧠 Thesis: “Integrating Logic and Objects for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.”

Experience

📘 From Feb. 1982 to June 1982, I served as a part-time lab professor at PALMER Higher School of Electronics in Greece, teaching Electronics Lab. My full-time teaching journey began at TEI of Athens (1982-84), where I covered courses like Electrotechnics and Circuit Theory. My secondary education tenure (1984-92) focused on electrical engineering subjects. I then transitioned to higher education, teaching at TEI of Kozani and Chalkida, and later at the University of Nottingham (1990-92). From 1995-2006, I was a senior researcher and lecturer at the University of Patras, ultimately becoming a professor (2009-2023). Now, I am a Professor Emeritus. 🎓🔬

Projects

From June 1993 to November 1995, I managed the CTI team for the DELTA-CIME project, developing a knowledge-based production control system. I led several initiatives, including the MEDFORM project for multimedia education and the national project for educational software in chemistry. As a senior researcher, I contributed to intelligent systems for tele-education and hybrid knowledge representation. I led multiple European projects like MENUET, AVARES, and TESLA, focusing on innovative education through virtual reality. My work aims to enhance learning experiences across disciplines, involving collaboration with various international partners. 🌍📚💻🎓
