Dr. Famelis Ioannis

I work as a Professor Applied Mathematics in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of West Attica. I hold a BSc in Mathematics (Kapodistrian University of Athens,1991) and a M.Sc. in Numerical Analysis and Programming (University of Dundee,1992). I received my PhD in Computational Mathematics and Numerical Solution of Differential Equations (Department of Mathematics, National Technical University of Athens, 1998).

I have taught mathematics and computer science courses in National Technical University of Athens, Agricultural University of Athens, Open University of Greece and TEI of Lamia, TEI of Athens, University of West Attica. I have taught for ten years in Secondary Education as an Informatics Professor at the College of Athens. I have successfully completed a web based course on “Teaching to Standards with New Technologies” at the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University and I have been trained for two years in the application of modern pedagogical theories in the learning environment and in issues of cooperation within educational institutions and in matters of organization and setting educational goals in the school by the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University.

My main research interests focus on Applied and Computational Mathematics, Numerical Analysis of Ordinary, Partial and Functional Differential Equations, Symbolic Computations, Neural Networks and Computational Intelligence.

I have participated in European Research Projects in NTUA for the enhancement of the Numerical Analysis courses in NTUA. I have also participated as a research member in five research programs in National Technical University of Athens, TEI of Athens and TEI of Sterea Hellas. I have competed as coordinator a research project with title “New numerical and computational methods for the solution of differential equations with applications in environmental issues.” which run under the framework of “Archimedes III Research Project” in TEI of Athens. I am research member of MicroSences laboratory.

I have written three books and I have refereed papers in several research journals.
