Haridimos Vergos

Haridimos Vergos serves as a Professor in the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department (CEID) at the University of Patras, Greece. He has held faculty positions since 1998 and currently directs the Microelectronics Laboratory while teaching core undergraduate and graduate courses in computer systems and fault tolerance.

His educational foundation includes a Computer Engineering Diploma (1991) and Ph.D. (1996) from CEID, University of Patras, where his doctoral research pioneered commercially adopted techniques for fault-tolerant cache memory architectures. This academic journey followed industry experience at Atmel Inc., where he co-developed the world's first IEEE 802.11-compliant medium access control processor.

Professor Vergos's research spans arithmetic circuit architectures, VLSI design, fault tolerance mechanisms, and rapid prototyping using programmable logic. With over 100 publications and a worldwide patent for network processor design, his work bridges theoretical innovation and industrial application in digital systems. He maintains active roles as a Senior IEEE Member and reviewer for top-tier conferences and journals in his field.

As an educator, he teaches Introduction to Computer Systems and E-CAD for Digital Hardware at the undergraduate level alongside the graduate course Fault Tolerant Computer Systems. His development of the AT91 ARM-based platform revolutionized laboratory instruction for assembly language and microcomputer courses across CEID.

Administratively, he has served three terms as Head of the Hardware and Computer Architecture Division (2008-2009, 2014-2015, 2023-2024) and two terms as Director of the Computer Center (2011-2012, 2013-2014). His leadership extends to supervising laboratory development and maintaining regular office hours Monday-Thursday for student engagement.
