Senior Lecturer
Archontis Giannakidis is a Senior Lecturer in Data Science at the School of Science and Technology , Nottingham Trent University (NTU). He leads modules in Discrete Mathematics & Computational Complexity (Year 2) and Convex Optimisation (Year 3), while supervising undergraduate and Masters dissertations. Education: PhD in Electronic Engineering (Inverse Problems), University of Surrey (2010) Research Interests focus on applying Deep Learning and Machine Learning to biomedical data processing, particularly in Biomedical Image Analysis , Convolutional Networks , and Diffusion MRI . His work emphasizes automating intellectual tasks, efficient data representation, hidden pattern discovery, and decision optimization in healthcare and environmental contexts. Recent Article Trends highlight his expertise in 2D echocardiography-based cardiac quantification , MRI-driven ACL tear diagnosis , and landslide-tsunami prediction via geometry-invariant machine learning. These studies often integrate uncertainty modeling, attention mechanisms, and lightweight architectures for clinical and environmental applications. Scientific Awards : Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) Advisory Roles include mentoring PhD students Tuan Aqeel Bohoran (Marie Skłodowska-Curie-funded) and David Gwillym Jenkins (internal funding), alongside visiting/external PhD candidates Michael Lystbaek (Aarhus University) and Athanasios Siouras (University of Thessaly). He has received grants from HORIZON 2020 , EPSRC , and Innovate UK , and collaborates with institutions like the Archimedes Research Unit (Greece) and National Heart and Lung Institute , Imperial College London. Professional Activity includes editorial board membership for Frontiers in Physiology , peer reviewing for journals like IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging , and external examining for University of Strathclyde’s MSc programs. He also contributes to conference organization and Portuguese grant evaluation panels.
