SHORT CV

Ioannis Pratikakis received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece in 1992 and the Ph.D. degree in 3D Image analysis from the Electronics engineering and Informatics department at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, in January 1999. From March 1999 to March 2000, he joined IRISA in Rennes, France as an INRIA postdoctoral fellow. In June 2001, he was employed by inos hellas S.A. as senior researcher responsible for the R&D on digital image processing and computer vision activities with application in robotics and 3D metrology. From January 2003 to June 2010, he was working as Adjunct Researcher at the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications in the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece. In 2010, he joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, where he currently serves as Associate Professor in Computer Vision and Digital image and video processing. His research interests include applications of 3D Vision, Machine learning, Image analysis and recognition, motion analysis and tracking. He has participated in more than 20 national and international R&D projects related to the aforementioned areas. He is member of the steering committee of EG Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR) and the International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR). He has been member of the Board of the Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Society for the period 2010-2014. He is Senior Member of the IEEE, member of the board of IEEE Greece Section, member of the board of the Greek Association of Image Processing and Digital Media (GAIPDM) and member of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics).
