Hello,

Currently, I am Associate Professor at University of Crete, Department of Computer Science, CSD UOC and Associate Researcher in the Networks and Telecommunications Laboratory of the Institute of Computer Science ICS at FORTH. I received the Diploma of Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University, N.T.U.A., of Athens in 1991 and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Signal Processing from the Ecole National Superieure des Telecommunications, ENST, Paris, France in 1992 and 1996, respectively. From 1996 until 2001 I was with AT&T Labs Research (Murray Hill and Florham Park, NJ, USA) as a Senior Technical Staff Member. In 2001 I joined Bell-Labs Lucent Technologies, in Murray Hill, NJ, USA (now Alcatel-Lucent). Since 2002 I am with the Computer Science Department at the University of Crete and the Institute of Computer Science at FORTH.

I am on the Board of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), member of the IEEE Speech and Language Technical Committee and of the IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee, on the Editorial Board of Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, JECE, Associate Editor of the EURASIP Journal on Speech, Audio, and Music Processing, ASMP, and Associate Editor of the EURASIP Research Letters in Signal Processing, RLSP. I am Vice-Chairman of the Cost Action 2103: "Advanced Voice Function Assessment", VOICE. I was Associate Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Letters and on the Management Committee for the COST Action 277: "Nonlinear Speech Processing". Among other projects in FP6, I participated in the SIMILAR Network of Excellence coordinating the task on the fusion of speech and handwriting modalities. I hold 9 patents and I am a member of IEEE, of ISCA, and of the Technical Chamber of Greece, TEE.
