Stylianos E.
Trevlakis
I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1991. I received the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) diploma (5 year) from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in 2016. Afterwards, I served in the Hellenic Army for nine months in the Research Office as well as at the Office of Research and Informatics of the School of Management and Officers. During 2017, I joined the Information Technologies Institute, while from October 2017 until April 2022, I was part of WCIP as a PhD candidate in AUTh. During the same period, I was a teaching assistant at the department of ECE of AUTh. From April 2022 until now, I am working at InnoCube as CEO and a postdoctoral researcher with focus on state-of-the-art research in conventional & AI-enabled Wireless Communication Systems.
My research interests lie in the area of Wireless Communications, with emphasis on conventional & AI-enabled Wireless Communication Systems, as well as Communications & Signal Processing for Biomedical Engineering.
