My name is
Georgios Valkanas and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the
Department of Informatics and Telecommunications (DIT),
University of Athens, under the supervision of Prof.
Dimitrios Gunopulos, on
Knowledge Extraction from Distributed Environments, with Applications to Web and Streams. The remainder of the Ph.D. committee is Prof.
Yannis Ioannidis and Prof.
Stathes Hadjiefthymiades.
I received my BSc from the DIT, UoA, Greece in 2007 and my MSc from the
Department of Informatics,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2009, in the area of Informational Systems. I am a member of the
Knowledge Discovery in Databases Laboratory (KDDLab) and of the
Pervasive
Computing Research Group (P-Comp). My main research interests are in the areas of Data Mining and Information Retrieval (with a high degree of
preference on multidimensional data), Databases and Data Warehousing, secondarily in Artificial Intelligence and much more recently in sensors.
Moreover, I am interested in pervasive computing and in the creation of applications using / combining concepts and techniques from the
aforementioned areas.
My CV is available in
Greek and in
English.
