Lykourgos Petropoulakis

I joined the University’s Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department in 1990. My main lecturing commitments are on robotics, control engineering, digital systems and microprocessors. I have been researching in a number of areas ranging from Internet-based collaborative systems to Bioengineering and biometrics. I am a co‑author of two US and one UK patents and I am also the co-author of over 80 journal, conference and other publications. I am a regular reviewer of several IEEE and other journals. My current research interests are in robotics, prosthetics, image analysis and biometrics. I am fluent in English and Greek and I have some working knowledge of French, Italian and Portuguese. My recreational activities include music (I play guitar and bouzouki – given free time), computers, football, chess and reading.

My most recent research work relates to bioengineering and biometric systems focusing primarily on areas such as prosthetics,  medical image processing, ECG measurement and analysis and human fatigue evaluation. Other related work includes robotics (manipulation procedures, mobile and aerial systems), virtual reality and image analysis.
