Prof. Stavros G. Stavrinides is a Physicist with a MSc in Electronics and a PhD in Chaotic Electronics, all awarded by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He currently serves as a full Professor at Physics Department at Democritus University of Thrace in Greece.

His research interests include, non-exhaustively, interdisciplinary applications of nonlinear dynamics and chaos (from social and economic systems to medicine and pharmaceutics), chaotic electronic circuits, unconventional (chaos-based) hardware security and Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) focusing on the IoT, memristors and memristor-based circuits, nonlinear time series analysis and forecasting. Research regarding unconventional machine learning approaches and edge computing (like reservoir computing) are also in his active research domains.

Prof. Stavrinides has taught numerous topics in physics and electronics in academia for more than 17 years. Prior positions include (among others) being Professor at International Hellenic University in Greece, visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Cyprus and Adjunct Lecturer at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.

He co-chairs the series of the International Interdisciplinary Symposia on Chaos and Complex Systems (https://chaos-symposium.org). He also serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute.

Prof. Stavrinides has authored or co-authored more than 140 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, 4 book chapters, 1 textbook and edited 5 books. He guest edited 7 special sessions He has participated, as a researcher, in several national and international (EU, NATO) funded projects.

Prof. Stavrinides has a social activity related to his scientific interests and expertise. To this direction he leads, together with Prof. I. Antoniou, an educational action fostering quantum readiness in Greece, by organizing the last 5 years an annual (free to attend) lecture series on Quantum Computing for senior high school and university students (see https://kyma.edu.gr). In addition, he has been appointed (by the Greek Ministry of Education) President of the Scientific Supervising Council of the Model High Schools of the city of Larisa.

Finally, he is an IEEE senior member, member of the Chua Memristor Center and the Micro-Nano Scientific Society.
