Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolaos Avouris is a Professor Emeritus and seasoned researcher with decades of experience advancing human-technology interaction, particularly in cultural heritage and learning environments. Based at the University of Patras, he has led interactive systems design and evaluation, supervised PhD research, founded the Interactive Technologies Lab, and steered institutional research and library governance. His background spans academic leadership—Dean and head of key committees—and earlier roles as a senior scientist at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and a software engineer designing user interfaces for national dispatch systems. Trained with a PhD from The University of Manchester and an MSc from UMIST, he combines rigorous engineering foundations with applied interdisciplinary work that bridges AI, environmental informatics, and user-centered design. Less obvious is his sustained focus on translating research into practical, evaluable systems for learning and heritage, making him as much a pragmatic builder as a theorist.
