Komninos Andreas

Komninos Andreas is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Engineering & Informatics Department at the University of Patras, specializing in Mobile and Pervasive Computing, Internet of Things, and Human-Computer Interaction. His research spans intelligent environments, context awareness, and virtual reality applications.

His research focuses on mobile text entry systems, psycho-cognitive modeling of human behavior, and accessibility for visually impaired users. Key areas include large language model applications for text entry evaluation, pseudo-haptic feedback in VR, and spatial multimodal alerts for industrial environments. He develops simulation tools like RoboType for realistic text entry evaluations and open-source cognitive models.

Notable achievements include a Best Paper Award at the ACM Greek SIGCHI Chapter (2023) for VR text entry research. He serves as co-general chair for EICS'26 and holds leadership roles in MobileHCI'24 and UbiComp/ISWC'24 as Workshops & Tutorials Chair and Student Competition Chair respectively.
