Dr. Konstantinos N. Gyftakis
Konstantinos N. Gyftakis was born in Patras, Greece, in May 1984. He received the Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras, Patras, Greece in 2010. He pursued a PhD in the same institution in the area of electrical machines condition monitoring and fault diagnosis (2010-2014). Then he worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in the Dept. of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, UK (2015). He is currently a Lecturer, School of Computing, Electronics and Mathematics, Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing and an Associate with the Research Centre for Mobility and Transport, Coventry University, UK. His research activities are in fault diagnosis, condition monitoring and degradation of electrical machines. He has authored/co-authored more than 40 papers in international scientific journals and conferences. Moreover, he is regular reviewer of papers for IEEE conferences and prestigious IEEE and IET journals. Finally, Dr Gyftakis has been invited as an academic visitor by foreign institutions like Korea University, Seoul, South Korea, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain and University of Beira Interior, Portugal.
