معرفی
Sotiris Nikoletseas is a Full Professor and Founding Director of the Internet of Things Laboratory (IoT-Lab) at the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department of Patras University, Greece. He also serves as a Senior Researcher of the Algorithms Group at the Computer Technology Institute and Press "Diophantus" (CTI), Greece, with previous Visiting Professor appointments at the Universities of Geneva, Ottawa and Southern California (USC).
His research spans five major domains: algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks and IoT; AIoT applications in digital health and smart manufacturing; wireless energy transfer protocols and electromagnetic radiation control; probabilistic algorithms and random graphs; and psychoanalysis driven computing applied to social networks. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical implementations, particularly evident in recent publications focusing on indoor air quality monitoring, temporal graph theory, and AI-driven health diagnostics.
His most recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong trends toward practical AIoT applications in healthcare, with multiple papers on respiratory disease diagnosis, indoor air quality monitoring, and gesture recognition for health monitoring. Theoretical work continues on temporal graph properties and random intersection graphs, showing his dual commitment to both theoretical foundations and practical applications.
His significant scientific recognition includes:
- Best Paper award at the 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN), Hyderabad, India, 2017
- Best Paper Award at the 6th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Networks (DCOSS), Santa Barbara, USA, 2010
- Inclusion in the list of highly cited computer scientists based on Google Scholar metrics
Professor Nikoletseas has supervised over 50 Diploma Theses and numerous graduate students, including 10 PhD students who have gone on to academic and industry positions worldwide. His externally funded research portfolio includes multiple EU projects (SynAir-G, zPasteurAIzer, SAINT), industry collaborations (Pfizer), and national innovation projects (PAT, Smart Photovoltaic Plants), demonstrating strong connections between academic research and real-world applications.
He leads the IoT-Lab at Patras University, which focuses on cutting-edge research in wireless networks, energy transfer, and AIoT applications. Current team members include Prof. Christoforos Raptopoulos (random graphs), Dr. Gavrilis Filios (energy-efficient buildings), and Dr. Pantelis Tzamalis (AIoT in digital health), working on projects ranging from industrial IoT to physiological data analysis.
