Labros Bisdounis
Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of the Peloponnese
Dr Labros Bisdounis received the Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering both from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Patras, Greece, in 1992 and 1999, respectively. During his collaboration with the department he participated as a researcher in several European research projects related to VLSI circuits and systems design.
From 2000 until mid 2008 he was with the Research and Development Division of Intracom S.A. (Intracom Telecom S.A. since January 2006), Athens, Greece, working as senior research engineer and project manager in European and national research projects regarding the design and development of VLSI circuits and embedded systems for telecom applications. From 2005 until 2007 he was also with the Department of Computer and Communication Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece as a lecturer, teaching the Embedded Systems postgraduate course.
In 2008, he joined the Electrical Engineering Department of Technological Educational Institute of Western Greece, Patras, as an associate professor and head of the Electronics and Measurements Technology laboratory, and from 2013 until May 2019 he was a full professor at the same department. From September 2010 until October 2015 he was the head of the department, from October 2015 until January 2016 he acted as the deputy president of the institute for finance and infrastructures and from March 2016 until August 2018 he was the dean of the School of Technological Applications of the institute.
