Biography

Welcome to my homepage. I am the Rector of Cyprus University of  Technology and a Professor at the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts of the Cyprus University of  Technology. In the past I served also as  Dean of School of Fine and Applied Arts and Head of department of the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts. Before returning to Cyprus i was a Reader at the Centre for Human-Computer Interaction Design , School of Informatics of City University London. Before City University, I was a researcher at the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University from where I also got my Ph.D. in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). My research interests lie in HCI with an emphasis on inclusive design and social aspects of computing. I am especially interested in HCI issues related to the elderly and people with disabilities. I am also interested in internet related research (web usability, mathematical modelling of browsing behaviour in hierarchical online information systems, online communities, e-learning, web based digital libraries and finally social network analysis of online human-to-human interactions).
