Eleftheria Sergaki is a permanent Laboratory Teaching Staff member (EDIP) at the Technical University of Crete , School of Electronic and Computer Engineering and the Electrical Power Systems Laboratory . She has served the university continuously since 1985 in roles ranging from Contract Lecturer-Researcher to her current academic post. Education PhD in Electronic & Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, 2011 MSc in Electronic & Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, 1997 BSc in Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 1985 Research Interests Her research lies at the intersection of automatic control, energy efficiency and machine learning . Core themes include the design of fuzzy-logic-based control algorithms that minimise energy losses in electric motors—work that has yielded an individual 2008 patent—the application of machine-learning techniques for predictive modelling of physical processes, and the development of AI-assisted diagnostic algorithms for medical imaging. Across these areas she leverages techniques such as adaptive control, artificial neural networks, neuro-fuzzy systems, discrete wavelet transforms and convolutional neural networks, bridging power engineering, biomedical engineering and computer science. Publication Trends Her 27 peer-reviewed works (2000–2023) exhibit a clear trajectory: early contributions focused on laser instrumentation and physics education shifted after 2006 toward electric-motor efficiency optimisation and advanced motor-control algorithms , and since 2018 have expanded into deep-learning applications in medical imaging , particularly capsule endoscopy and brain-tumour detection.
