· Conferences
- "Genetic Algorithms and Applications", plenary lecture at the WSEAS International Conferences MMACTEE, NOLASC, WAMUS 2003 held in December 29-31, 2003, Vouliagmeni, Athens, Greece.
· Current interests and activities
- The idea of Integrated Design and Building, closely related to both systemic and biological paradigms, as well as projects based on this idea are presented in the website www.integratedbuilding.eu. Relevant work of the author is included in the presentation, as well as in the HEX HABITAT project animation.
- The author participates in "Architects + Visualizers", a firm specialized in CG architectural visualization, algorithmic analysis and project-specific CAD application development, mostly for design projects having particular mathematical, geometrical or technical interest. The author had personal involvement in algorithmic analysis and software development for both "Desert Breath" and "Austin's Airth Gates" projects of D.A.ST Arteam and Danae Stratou respectively.
