2nd Year PhD Student in Biomedical Engineering

Graduate Research Assistant

University of Southern California

A few words about me:

I was born in Drama, Greece, in 1980. I received my undergrad degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 2004, with a major in Electronics and Computer Engineering. I'm currently pursuing a PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering, at the University of Southern California. My advisors are Professor Vasilis Marmarelis and Professor Spiros Courellis.

Research Interests:

Modeling of non-linear, non-stationary biological systems, neuroprosthetic algorithms, signal & image processing techniques applied on biomedical data, computational neuroscience. I'm currently working as a graduate research assistant at the Biomedical Simulations Resource Lab. I also work on the Cortical Prosthesis Testbed research program of the USC Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems Center. My concentration is non-linear modeling of neural information flow through the non-parametric Volterra modeling approach with use of expansion functions. In the past I've also worked on developing software for the analysis of event-related potentials in EEG experiments and source localization studies from EEG data using FEM methods and smart optimization algorithms.
