Christos Antonopoulos

Christos Antonopoulos is an Associate Professor at the Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) Department of the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece and currently serves as the director of Computer Systems Lab (https://csl.e-ce.uth.gr). His research interests span the areas of system and applications software, emphasizing on run-time monitoring and adaptivity with performance and power optimization criteria, both at the granularity of a single node and at scale. He is also working on improving the programmability of accelerator-based heterogeneous systems. For his research he has been awarded three best-paper awards, in IWOMP '05, PPoPP '07 and Computing Frontiers ’21 conferences. Previously, he served as a postdoctoral research associate at the Computer Science Department of the College of William and Mary, VA, USA, and as a Visiting Assistant Professor at ECE-UTH. Prof. Antonopoulos teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses on Programming, Operating Systems and Programming of High-Performance Systems. He has been actively involved in several research projects both in the EU and in USA. He earned his PhD, MSc and Diploma from the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department of the University of Patras, Greece.

Athanasios Fevgas

Athanasios Fevgas is a Member of EDIP at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly. His main research interests include data structuring techniques for non-volatile memories, data indexing, machine learning, the Internet of things, and intelligent power grids.

Nestor Evmorfopoulos

Nestor Evmorfopoulos is Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece. He received the B.E., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece. His main research interests are focused on mathematical and computational methods for CAD tools and algorithms for integrated circuit design, with emphasis on large-scale circuit, thermal and electromagnetic modeling and simulation. He has published over 70 articles in international journals and conferences, and holds 5 U.S. patents. He received the “William J. McCalla” Award for the best paper at the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design in 2021 and was nominated for the same award in 2012, while he has also received 2 best paper awards and 2 best paper nominations in other international conferences. In 2020 he received a Fulbright award for conducting research at the University of Minnesota, USA, as a Visiting Scholar.

Nikolaos Mpellas

Nikos Bellas is a Professor at the ECE Department of the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece. His research interests include reconfigurable and accelerator-based computing, embedded systems, and design for low power. He received the Diploma from the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department of the University of Patras, Greece, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Before joining the University of Thessaly, he was a principal staff engineer at Motorola Labs in Chicago. He was one of the architects of MPEG4 video decoding chips used by the first Motorola camera phone and has worked extensively on architecting systems on chip for multimedia and imaging applications. He holds 10 issued US patents.
