  ACADEMIC STUDIES
01/92 - ……. Ph.D. Student of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering in the University of Patras. Title of thesis: “Predictive Control Using Evolutionary Algorithms”, Control and Industrial Informatics Research Group, Division of Systems & Control.

The objective of the research is focused on the use of evolutionary algorithms (especially GAs & hybrid GAs) in the solution of the optimization problem of Predictive Control, (using conventional and unconventional cost functions) and in the design (on-line and off-line) of the Predictive Controllers.

Supervisor of the Phd is Professor Mr. Robert King.

At this moment, Phd Dissertation is in the phase of writing.

09/85-09/91 Diploma in Chemical Engineering Department of the National Technical University of Athens (diploma degree 6.92/10).
