Brief CV

Sokratis K. Katsikas was born in Athens, Greece, in 1960. He received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the University of Patras, Patras, Greece in 1982, the Master of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Amherst, USA, in 1984 and the Ph.D. in Computer Engineering & Informatics from the University of Patras, Patras, Greece in 1987. Currently he is a Professor with the Dept. of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus, Greece, General Secretary for Communications of the Greek Ministry of Infrastructures, Transport and Networks, and member of the pool of experts of the Institutional Evaluation Programme of the European University Association. He has served as Rector (2003-2006) and Vice-Rector (1997-2003) of the University of the Aegean, Greece, member of the Board of the Hellenic Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (2006-2008), member of the Board of the Hellenic Authority for Communications Privacy (2008-2009), Vice-President of the Greek Federation of Associations of University Faculty Members (2009) and national representative of Greece to the Programme Management Committee of the EC FP7 “People” Programme (2007-2009). His research interests lie in the areas of information and communication systems security and of estimation theory and its applications. He has authored or co-authored more than 150 journal publications, book chapters and conference proceedings publications in these areas. He is serving on the editorial board of several scientific journals, he has authored/edited 24 books and has served on/chaired the technical programme committee of numerous international conferences.
