He is responsible for all the infrastructure that the lab uses to produce, store, transport and consume its bits. He was a member of the core technical and design team for the \u201cOne Laptop Per Child\u201d initiative which created OLPC&#8217;s pioneering, award-winning &#8220;XO&#8221; laptop. His current research interests include network security, wireless networks and building efficient high performance machine learning computing infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, he has advised governments around technology policy issues and provided expert opinion in technical matters to top-level officials. He has cofounded two companies, has been a director and consulted for many others in a variety of capacities.<\/p>\n<p>He has implemented broadband access networks using cutting-edge technologies including one of the earliest ADSL testbeds and various wireless technologies. Mr. Bletsas has been a frequent keynote speaker in international conferences and has been engaged in many civic activities. He holds an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an MSc degree in Computer Engineering from Boston University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-494b9a1ee4cae9a1f fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3190-1\" data-target=\"#494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\" href=\"#494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Savas Parastatidis<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_494b9a1ee4cae9a1f\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/10\/Savas_Parastatidis.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"177\" \/> As of April 2019, Savas is part of the Alexa Artificial Intelligence organization at Amazon where he helps advancing the state of the art in natural human-agent interactions. Previously, he worked for Microsoft as the overall Architect of Cortana, which he helped starting as a co-founder and the first engineer of the project, back in 2012. As the team\u2019s Architect, he had an overarching role that spanned disciplines such as user experiences, services\/platform design, system architecture, technical coordination, software engineering, vision definition, and strategy. He also worked for Facebook\u2019s Applied Machine Learning group where he lead the work on a language and conversational understanding platform, one that processes all of Facebook\u2019s posts and comments.<\/p>\n<p>He loves working in the personal digital assistant space. He believes that a new set of conversational and anticipatory\/proactive experiences will fundamentally change the ways in which humans consume information and complete tasks, all through the use of technology. The requirements span various fields of computer science such as natural user interfaces, semantics, knowledge representation and reasoning, the Web (check out my book \u201cREST in Practice\u201c), large-scale systems\/services, stream processing\/reactive computing, machine learning, and much more.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-cf37693ed6b39c45a fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_cf37693ed6b39c45a\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"cf37693ed6b39c45a\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3190-1\" data-target=\"#cf37693ed6b39c45a\" href=\"#cf37693ed6b39c45a\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Georgios Z.
