Major Completed Projects

ARCHIMEDES III: Tourism Demand Prediction

As part of the ARCHIMEDES III project, I developed innovative forecasting models to predict tourist demand in the Western Region of Greece, combining traditional statistical approaches with neural network-based methods to improve the accuracy of tourism forecasting. The resulting models provided valuable planning tools for regional tourism authorities and businesses, enabling better resource allocation and strategic decision-making.

HRAKLEITOS II: Brain Rhythmical Activity Analysis

In collaboration with the Medical School of Patras, I contributed to the HRAKLEITOS II project studying human brain rhythmical activity during sleep and epileptic syndromes. This research utilized advanced signal processing techniques to analyze EEG recordings, revealing important patterns in brain activity during different sleep phases and epileptic events. The findings have contributed to our understanding of sleep architecture and its relationship to neurological disorders.

EEG/MEG Combination for Brain Source Localization

Working with both the University of Patras and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan, I participated in research exploring the theoretical and practical limits of combining EEG and MEG for locating brain source generators. This project developed new mathematical models and algorithms for non-invasive source localization, advancing our ability to map brain activity with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship Unit

I served as the Institutional Responsible for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Unit at the TEI of Western Greece, implementing programs co-funded by the European Union under the “Education and Lifelong Learning” operational program. This initiative fostered entrepreneurial skills among students and facilitated knowledge transfer between academia and industry.

INSPIRE: Speech Interaction via Remote Microphones

The INSPIRE project explored infotainment management with speech interaction via remote-microphones and telephone interfaces. This research addressed challenges in speech recognition in noisy environments, developing robust algorithms for accurate speech processing in real-world scenarios.

KORAIS Electronic Dictionary

I participated in the development of KORAIS, a novel electronic dictionary with 100,000 lemmas. This project combined computational linguistics and digital humanities to create comprehensive language resources for Modern Greek.

Electronic Dictionary of Grecanic Dialect

I contributed to creating an electronic dictionary for the pronunciation and usage of the Grecanic Dialect of Southern Italy, helping to preserve and document this historical variation of Greek.
