Biography

Georgios Smaragdos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, on July 3rd 1983. After participating in the national examinations for a university admission, he was admitted to the Technical University of Crete (TUC), in Chania, in the department of Electronics & Computer Engineering (5 year Diploma). The title of his Diploma Thesis was ”Design Of Current Mode CMOS Integrated Filters ” and was concluded under the supervision of Matthias Bucher. He obtained his Master degree from Delft University of Technology in July 2012. His Master Thesis ( " An Adaptive Defect-Tolerant Multiprocessor Array Architecture ") was completed under the supervision of Yiannis Sourdis and Christos Strydis. On March 2024 he obtained his PhD degree with the thesis titled "BrainFrame: From FPGA to heterogeneous acceleration of brain simulations" in the Erasmus MC Neuroscience Department. He is currently a Research Technician and Systems Administrator at the Erasmus MC Neuroscience Dept.
