George Leventis is a Researcher C at ERATOSTHENES CoE in the Department of Big Earth Data Analytics. Leventis conducted both his bachelor and postgraduate studies at the Dept. of Cultural Technology and Communication, University of Aegean. During his studies at the
University of Aegean, he started his research career as a research associate at the Intelligent Multimedia and Virtual Reality research laboratory, focusing on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). He is currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Civil Engineering and
Geomatics, Cyprus University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Phaedon Kyriakidis and Prof. Diofantos Hadjimitsis. Georgios received scholarship for his PhD studies, awarded by the Cyprus State Scholarships Foundation (IKYK) Scholarship. In the past, he was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellowship. During his doctoral studies, he is employed as a researcher in several National and European -funded projects relevant to his fields of expertise, while additionally, he participates in research proposals writing. Georgios’ research interests are
mainly focused on Spatial Analysis, Agent-Based Modeling, Geostatistics, Data Mining, Neural Networks and Cultural Heritage. Currently, his research lies in using Agent-based Models to study emerging phenomena such as mobility; the movement of humans and animals in space to understand patterns or reasons that could possibly be hidden behind such mobility or even to assess human responses during an emergency. Georgios plans to employ research on predictive modeling, statistics and analysis tools, as well as to deepen his knowledge in
machine learning models.
