Dr. Georgakis holds an MSc in Mathematics and Statistics and a PhD in Engineering. His research interests center on biomedical signal processing, audio engineering, and medical diagnostics using advanced signal analysis techniques. He has made significant contributions to the fields of electroglottography for vocal tract pathology detection and heart rate monitoring via tracheal audio signals. His work bridges engineering with healthcare applications, particularly in non-invasive monitoring and diagnostic systems.
His recent publications (2022–2024) demonstrate a clear trend toward applying digital signal processing and machine learning methods to medical diagnostics. Topics include laryngeal pathology detection using MFCC/GTCC features, systematic reviews on electroglottography, and automatic heart rate estimation during sleep. Earlier works (2014–2015) focus on theoretical signal restoration and denoising techniques using fractional Fourier transforms and mask operations, showing a strong foundation in mathematical signal processing. A 2019 publication also highlights his interdisciplinary work in thermal engineering involving liquid desiccant systems.
Dr. Georgakis teaches across multiple programs, including:
- MSc Electronic and Robotic Engineering
- BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with and without Foundation Year)
- BSc (Hons) Sound Engineering (with and without Foundation Year)
- BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Statistics (with and without Foundation Year)
- MSc Digital Audio Engineering
- PhD Engineering
While no specific scientific awards are listed, his sustained publication record in high-impact journals such as Digital Signal Processing, Signal Processing, and MDPI Diagnostics reflects active research engagement. He collaborates with researchers internationally, particularly in biomedical signal analysis and veterinary monitoring.
