1. Ioannis Vourkas
   Ioannis Vourkas was born in Kozani, Greece in 1985. He received the M. Eng. (Diploma) and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) from the Democritus University of Thrace (DUTh), Greece, in 2008 and 2014, respectively. In 2006 he received an annual performance award from the Greek State Scholarships Foundation (IKY) for completing with honors the 3rd year of my undergraduate studies. Part of his Diploma Thesis was published in the DSP 2009 Conference, which was held in Santorini, Greece, on 5-7 July, 2009. In 2008 he graduated from the ECE department of DUTh rated 4th out of 116 students who graduated. In 2011 he was awarded an annual Ph.D. study scholarship from the BODOSSAKI foundation in Greece. A summary of his research work was selected for presentation in the Ph.D. Forum special session of VLSI-SoC 2013 Conference, held in Istanbul, Turkey, on 7-9 Oct. 2013, where he was runner-up for the best Ph.D. presentation award. In 2006 he worked in the Cultural & Educational Technology Institute (CETI) in Xanthi, Greece, during a summer internship. In 2009 he participated in the European vocational training program “Leonardo Da Vinci” and worked in the Institute of Industrial & Control Engineering (IOC) in Barcelona, Spain. He was member of the Organizing Committee of the 10th edition of ACRI Conference, which was held in Santorini, Greece, on 24-27 Sept. 2012, where he had the honor to meet the “inventor” of memristor Prof. Leon O. Chua. His current research emphasis is on novel nanoelectronic circuits and architectures comprising memristors. His research interests include modern unconventional memristive computing circuits and systems, Cellular Automata theory and applications, circuit design and simulation. He is member of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE), member of IEEE, and have been scholar of the BODOSSAKI foundation between 2011-2014.
   Best Ph.D. Thesis Award 2014.
