Christoforos Somarakis

Welcome to my professional web-space ! I am a research scientist with 5+ years of experience and academia and industry. My interests include sensing and control of dynamical systems, artificial intelligence, nonlinear optimization and computer vision.

I especially enjoy doing research in the intersection of these fields such as learning and control, systemic and data-driven robust control, multisensing and in-situ diagnostics and control, AI enabled system diagnostics, secure control in cyberphysical systems.

My academic background in applied mathematics and engineering positions me as a researcher capable of applying advanced concepts and methodologies to tackle complex practical problems in a theoretical rigorous, yet practical manner.
