Georgios Vouros

Georgios Vouros is a Professor at the Department of Digital Systems within the School of Information and Communication Technologies at the University of Piraeus. He previously served as a professor at the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering of the University of the Aegean (1998-2011), where he was department president for five years (2000-2005) and later dean of the School of Sciences (2006-2010). He currently directs the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Inter-Institutional Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence.

Dr. Vouros holds a degree in Mathematics and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

His research spans theoretical and applied artificial intelligence with emphasis on knowledge representation systems. His work integrates cognitive modeling with practical AI applications, particularly in multi-agent environments where reinforcement learning techniques are deployed for complex decision-making processes. He has pioneered approaches in conceptual knowledge representation that bridge symbolic AI with modern machine learning paradigms.

Professor Vouros has served as president of the Hellenic Society for Artificial Intelligence for six years and has extensive experience in international research collaboration, having directed multiple EU-funded projects including datAcron and DART, with current focus on Reinforcement Machine Learning applications in Air Traffic Management.

He has supervised 12 completed doctoral theses and currently guides 3 doctoral candidates and 3 post-doctoral fellows, in addition to numerous undergraduate and graduate students throughout his academic career. His research has been supported through significant grants including FP7/Grid4All and FP7/SEMAGROW projects.

Professor Vouros directs the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Department of Digital Systems and co-directs the Inter-Institutional Master's Degree "Artificial Intelligence" in collaboration with the Institute of Science & Technology of the NCSR "Demokritos".
