The IEEE Greece Computer Chapter invites you to the online lecture entitled “Security and Protection in Industrial Systems” which will be given by Professor Mr Dimitrio Serpano, professor at the University of Patras, Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Director at ‘ΙΤΥΕ ΔΙΟΦΑΝΤΟΣ’ and Candidate for IEEE Computer Society Chair on Thursday, 9 September 2021, at 6 pm at https://www.facebook.com/IEEEGRCS. 

New interdisciplinary approaches to computing are necessary to address emerging challenges. We need to mobilize engineers around the world, without constraints, and to exploit new methods and data to address the challenges for reliability, security and safety at an international level. While computers control critical infrastructure and influence our safety and well-being, their protection is challenging. Recent cases of digital industrial espionage for COVID-19 vaccine and medication comes to no surprise.

Dimitrios Serpanos holds a PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University since 1990. He received his Engineering Degree in Computer Engineering & Informatics from the University of Patras in 1985 (1st CE graduate in Greece) and his MA in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1988. Between 1990 and 1996 he was a Research Staff Member (RSM) at IBM Research, T.J. Watson Research Center working in the area of systems architecture for high bandwidth systems. Between 1996 and 2000 he was faculty member at the University of Crete (Computer Science) and a researcher at ICS-FORTH. Since 2000 he has been a professor at the University of Patras, Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, working in the area of computer architecture and embedded systems with emphasis on network systems, security systems and multimedia systems.
