Ioannis Stefanis is PhD candidate of the Hellenic Mediterrenean University in Heraklion Crete with the support of the ARCHERS Fellowship. During 2019, I affiliated as an intern at ImVia, the Image and Artificial Vision Laboratory (Laboratoire ImViA – Imagerie et Vision Artificielle) – University of Burgundy in Dijon, member of CNRS, the national scientific research organization of France. My work is related with computer vision techniques in realtime surgical procedures and personalized medicine. I successfully finished the joint masters programme in Computer Vision of Université de Bourgogne in France and the masters programme in Applied Informatics of the Department of Informatics Engineering of Technological Educational Institute of Crete (2019).On July 2018, I started the affiliation with the Computational BioMedicine Laboratory (CBML), part of ICS-FORTH Institution. A graduate of the Department of Applied Informatics and Multimedia in 2011.
