Short CV

Giorgos Flouris is a Researcher Director (Grade A) at FORTH-ICS. His research interests lie mainly in the areas of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (with emphasis on Provenance and Non-monotonic Reasoning), Artificial Intelligence (with emphasis on Game Theory, Belief Revision, Computational Argumentation and Argumentative Persuasion), and Semantic Technologies (with emphasis on Ontology Dynamics, including Evolution, Repair and Change Detection). He owns a bachelor in Mathematics from the University of Athens and an MSc and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Crete. Giorgos has published more than 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, has co-supervised more than 20 students of various levels and has received a number of fellowships and awards for his work. Giorgos has been involved in more than 15 projects (mostly funded by the EC), and has reviewed various European and national projects and proposals. He is currently the coordinator of the Symbolic AI Group (SymbAI) of the Information Systems Laboratory of FORTH-ICS.
