I am Associate Professor and Deputy Head at the Department of Industrial Design and Production Engineering of the School of Engineering of the University of West Attica. I am also the Director of the Postgraduate Program of Studies in New Technologies in Shipping and Transport which has been co-founded and operates, in collaboration with the University of Aegean. I hold a degree in Automation Engineering, received in 2000 by the Technological Institute of Piraeus. In 2004, supported by the State Scholarships Foundation, I received my postgraduate diploma (MPhil) from the University of the West of England in the field of control systems and then I received his PhD from the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), England, which is part of the same University, with a dissertation on modern methods of automatic control with applications in motion systems. In 2018 I received a Post-Doc Certificate from the University of Thessaly for his research on the development of motion design algorithms for autonomous mechatronic space surveillance vehicle and wireless image transfer with a combined use of micro-cameras. Additionally, I hold a training certificate for “Radiography Interpretation – Level II” with “Non-Destructive Testing” methods from the British Institute of NDT (2015). I have participated in several research projects, one among which received a Patent on “Self-propelled polymorphic test base for laboratory training in robotics and micro-controllers” from the Industrial Property Organization, and I am also the author of numerous publications in international scientific journals, books and conference proceedings which receive multiple citations.
