Dr. Fotis Kalaganis

Postdoctoral Research Associate

  • B.Sc. in Informatics, Dpt of Informatics, A.U.TH (2013)
  • M.Sc. in Digital Media and Computational Intelligence, Dpt. of Informatics, A.U.TH (2016)

Fotis Kalaganis graduated from the Dpt. of Informatics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2013 and three years later (2016) he received his MSc degree in “Digital Media and Computational Intelligence” from the same institution. During the master’s programme he was awarded for excellence in academic studies. Since 2016, he is a PhD candidate at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Dpt. of Informatics. His doctoral research concerns the development of Computational Intelligence algorithms in Neuroscience, emphasizing in Brain-Computer Interfaces. At the same time, he is working as a research associate at CERTH where he mainly develops signal processing and machine learning algorithms for Brain-Computer Interfaces. His research interests include deep learning, complex-valued kernel methods and non-Euclidean geometry with applications in Computational Neuroscience. His scientific work has been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals and international conferences.
