Work Experience

During his collaboration with Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Patras he participated in the following projects:

1995-1996: "Developing of an Isolated Speech Recognition System, Speaker Independent for the Digits and a Restricted Number of Commands in PCs and through Telephone Lines" General Secretariat Of Research And Technology of Greece, Siemens S.A.,University Of Patras. R&D Project.

1997: «ACCeSS, Automated Call Center Through Speech Understanding System (LEI-1802 10347/0», EU.

1999: «KORAIS-Novel Greek-English electronic dictionary 100000 lemas». Secretariat Of Research And Technology of Greece, R&D Project.

2000: "Automatic Speech Recognition in Very Noisy Environments", R&D project in corporation with Snt Petersburg University, Russia.

2001: ” Development of advanced hybrid methods in critical decisions: applications in medicine”, PENED.

2002-2004: “Telecare” EU/IN-13.

From 2004 since 2010 he was with the Laboratory of fluid mechanics and energy, Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Patras, as a post-doc researcher. During this time, he participated in the following projects:

2004-2005: HEACE (Health Effects in Aircraft Cabin Environment). His contribution was in the modeling of a virtual airplane passenger. More specific, an comfort index estimation system has been designed. The estimated index calculates how comfortable the passenger is feeling. The estimation system has been developed in Matlab.

2005–2007 PYTHAGORAS ΙΙ (EPEAEKhttp://epeaek.upatras.gr/index/sub_project/103 ) in the subtask “Noise control in home/office/industry environment for the protection of the employes using automated active methods with Neural Networks and genetic algorithms as post-doc researcher.2004-2006: MESEMA. His contribution consist of a) Find the optimal position of actuators for noise reduction in an airplane fuselage. b) Parameter optimization of an electric generator based on smart materials (Τerfenol-Β) which uses the airplane's vibrations for the production of elctrical power.

2006 – 2010: SENSE. His contribution consists of the development of a sound source identification/classification system for use in airport environment. The system was based on Analog Devices Blackfin Processors.
