Ioannis Kyriakides

Dr. Ioannis Kyriakides received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University. He received his MSc and PhD degrees from Arizona State University. Throughout his graduate studies, he held a research associate position funded by the Integrated Sensing and Processing program and the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiatives (MURI) of the USA Department of Defence. He received the University Graduate Fellowship of Arizona State University in the final year of his PhD work. His research interests include Bayesian target tracking, sequential Monte Carlo methods and heterogeneous data fusion and heterogeneous sensing asset management. Applications of his research include localization of multiple RF sources, tracking surface vehicles using passive acoustic sensing, tracking multiple targets with constraints in motion and with heterogeneous agile sensing nodes, autonomous vehicle path planning for information acquisition, and identifying suitable areas for maritime activities such as aquaculture and renewable energy facilities. He has been an Associate Professor at the University of Nicosia. He is currently serving as the Marine Technology Research Director at the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute (CMMI). Dr. Kyriakides was the Project Coordinator for projects with a total budget of over €14M. Dr. Kyriakides is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
