Antisthenis Tsompanas

Dr. Antisthenis Tsompanas is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of the West of England (UWE), part of the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment (FET). His research focuses on unconventional and bio-inspired computing, with expertise in modeling biological processes, cellular automata, and memristive systems. He holds degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece.

Research interests span unconventional computing, bio-inspired algorithms, electronic systems design, and applications of cellular automata in computing and engineering. His work includes projects on fungal-inspired computing, neuroevolution-based medical device design, and FPGA implementations of biological models.

Publications highlight trends in mycelium-based systems, memristive oscillators, and neuroevolution techniques applied to soft robotics and medical devices. Collaborative projects include EU-funded initiatives and interdisciplinary research in biomimetic engineering. He is a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece since 2009.

Current contributions include advancing biohybrid actuators, developing models for engineered living materials, and exploring computational universality in biological systems.
