Dr. Ioannis Katramados holds a PhD in Real-time Computer Vision (Cranfield University, United Kingdom), a Master's degree in Information Systems Engineering (University of Manchester, United Kingdom) and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering (University of Manchester, United Kingdom). In addition to his job as lecturer in Data Science at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, he runs his own company, COSMONiO.
"It is fascinating and challenging to develop artificial intelligence systems that can process information in a way similar to the human brain. I am currently working on the formation of the Data Science professorship that started at NHL Stenden in December 2016.”
“Applied research is about solving real-world problems. Modern data science is capable of solving many of these problems. As a researcher and engineer I find it important to translate my research into real-world products and solutions. In my opinion, NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences fits this importance better than any other university of applied sciences”
New generation of data scientists
"Since my PhD, I've been involved in research and entrepreneurship. In 2012 I founded COSMONiO, one of the first companies in the Northern Netherlands to use advanced data science methods for image analysis. Interest in data science has grown significantly since then, making it one of the fastest growing fields of expertise in the world"
"The demand for young data scientists is therefore expected to grow significantly in the coming years. At present there are few young scientists and engineers in the Northern Netherlands who have been trained to the level expected by the business community. It seemed to me the right time to go into education and to help create this new generation of data scientists".
