Ioannis Zaharakis
Assistant Professor

He received his B.Sc. in Mathematics (in 1992) and his Ph.D. (in 1999, in Software Engineering) both from the Dept. of Mathematics, Univ. of Patras, Hellas. Since 2008, he is an Assistant Professor with the Technological Educational Institute of Patras, where he teaches software design and engineering as well as Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing. In 2002, he joined the DAISy Unit at Research Academic Computer Technology Institute as a Researcher/R&D Engineer, focusing on the formal specification of component-based ubiquitous computer systems; he is Managing Director of the Research Unit DAISy (http://daisy.cti.gr) since 2009. During 1993-1999, he was researcher in the Educational Software Development Lab, University of Patras, where he was involved in the specification, design and implementation of intelligent tutoring systems. He has participated in several EU-funded and national R&D projects. He has authored two textbooks for the Hellenic Open University and more than 30 papers that have been published in international journals and conferences. He is a member of the Hellenic AI Society and the Hellenic Mathematics Society.
