Dimitrios I. Fotiadis is a Greek biomedical engineer and academic. He is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Ioannina and the Director of the Unit of Medical Technology and Intelligent Information Systems. He is also an affiliated member of the Biomedical Research Institute at the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH). He serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics.

Education

edit

Fotiadis received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1985. He went on to earn a PhD in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in 1990.[1]

Career

edit

Following his doctoral studies, Fotiadis held research positions at the University of Minnesota, the RWTH Aachen University in Germany, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

He joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Ioannina as a Lecturer in 1995, becoming an Assistant Professor in 1999 and Associate Professor in 2002. Since 2008, he has served as a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the same university.[2] He is the founder and Director of the Unit of Medical Technology and Intelligent Information Systems (MedLab), established in 1998.[3]

Since January 2001, he has been affiliated as a researcher with the Biomedical Research Institute of the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Greece.[4]

He is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics[5] and serves on the editorial board of IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering. He is also an associate editor for the IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology[6] and Computers in Biology and Medicine.[7]

Research work

edit

Fotiadis’ research is in the field of Biomedical engineering, with a focus on computational methods and intelligent systems for healthcare applications. His work combines engineering, data science, and medicine to support disease understanding, diagnosis, and personalized treatment.[8]

A central area of his research is multiscale modelling of human tissues and organs, involving computational approaches that link biological processes across different spatial and temporal scales.[9] He has also contributed to biomedical signal and image processing, medical data analytics, and the application of machine learning and bioinformatics in clinical decision support.[10]

Another major theme of his research is the development of intelligent wearable and implantable systems for health monitoring and rehabilitation, integrating sensors, data fusion, and artificial intelligence.[11][12]

Fotiadis has participated in and coordinated numerous national and European research projects, including those funded under FP6 and FP7,[13] as well as Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, contributing to the translation of biomedical engineering research into clinical and technological applications.[14][15]
