Costas Argyrides

I am a Research Fellow in the Sensors Research Laboratory (SRL) of the School of Engineering at The University of Warwick working on a project about “Nano Structured micro Power Smart Gas Sensors” under the supervision of Dr. James Covington and Prof. Julian W. Gardner.

I am completing my PhD (awaiting viva) at the University of Bristol in the Department of Computer Science working on “Error Tolerant Techniques for the Improvement of Reliability and Yield” under the supervision of Prof. Dhiraj Pradhan. During the first two years of my PhD I collaborated with different scientists and published more than 20 technical papers in different conferences and workshops among them DFT, ETS, VTS and VLSID and won a best paper award . My publication list as well as the pdf and the ppt versions of some of the papers may be found here.

Prior to the PhD I completed an MSc in Advanced Computing and in particular on “Global computing and Multimedia” again in the University of Bristol. My thesis was entitled “A Novel Soft Error Tolerant Low Power RAM Architecture” and was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dhiraj K. Pradhan. It was published in the “Proceedings of the 20th Annual Symposium on Integrated Circuits and System Design SBCCI ‘07″ ISBN:978-1-59593-816-9 page(s) 300-305. While a master’s student I was awarded with a scholarship from Misys foundation. For my bachelor’s degree I found myself in the capital of the former Soviet Union, Moscow. My undergraduate studies focused on the field of Computer Science and Informatics, at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute Technical University (MPEI-TU). At the end of my studies at MPEI (TU) I was classified in the top 10 students with excellent performance. Further details regarding my PhD and educational background may be found here.

Additionally, I was the founder of Net-Twister LTD. Net-Twister LTD was secialised in the design and implementation of websites and software for different companies. Moreover, during my studies in Bristol I was employed by the university as a teaching assistant at several courses in the department of Computer Science and while in Moscow I was a lab assistant at MPEI (TU). I was a teaching assistant at the course “Fault Tolerant Computer Design (COMSM30125)” for 3rd year undergraduates and at the course “Introduction to Computer Architecture (COMSM1302)” for the postgraduates of the “MSc in Computer Science: Conversion course” last semester. More details about my working experience may be found here and about the courses may be found here and here respectively.

I am proud to be able to communicate into three languages(greek, english and russian).

My website will be available in these Languages soon and will be updated on a regular basis.
