1986 - 1992                             Worked in the “National Sports Research Institute”

(ÅÊÁÅ), initially for the committee organizing the

“World Youngsters Athletics Championship of 1986”

(ÐÅÐ’86), next for the Committee Against Violence in

Fields of Sports, and last as in charge of the Computer

Department of ÅÊÁÅ, this belonging to the “Olympic

Sports Center of Athens” (ÏÁÊÁ).

1991 - 1992                             Became a Member of the Scientific Council of ÅÊÁÅ.

For my authoring and scientific work, during those years,

I was congratulated, in written, by the top managers of

ÏÁÊÁ and ÅÊÁÅ (when I decided to quit my job, in order

to develop a corner of new technology and related research).

1987 - 1988                             Worked on a project of ÊÏÅÁÔ (Central Organizational

Committee Seeking for Children Talented in Sports),

under the “General Secretariat of Sports” (ÃÃÁ).

Height, weight, and tested performances of 150,000

children, at the age of 8, were input as data, processed,

and co-evaluated by a program of mine. That task was

completed in less than 9 weeks, with absolute success.

1985 - 1986                             One year in the Information Center of the Ministry of

1972 - 1977                             Partner in a company being in the construction business.

 

 

Accomplishments / Awards

 

Oct. 2000 - Sept. 2002              Invented the Binary Oblong Random-Number series of

generators (the BORN engines), and presented an original

Encryption/Decryption Program, to a group of officers,

appointed by the Greek Army, to evaluate the proposed

method for implementation. I was notified, afterwards, that

my algorithm had passed the randomness tests of the Army,

and also those of the Defense-Systems Dep. of Intracom sa.

1994 - 1995                             My proof of “The Two Squares Theorem” (number theory)

was published in a special Geometry-Analysis-Mechanics

(GAM) World Scientific volume, dedicated to Archimedes.

1988                                        Awarded by the Greek Operational Researchers Union,

and chosen to represent Greece, in the international

congress, which is organized by IFORS every 3 years.

The problem of Locating an Obnoxious Facility (in terms

of Location Theory) had been posed by Dr. J. Karkazis,

professor of mathematics in the Aegean University, and

was solved through our collaboration, in a series of three

papers, ending with the one presented in Buenos Ayres.

 

 

Independent Research

 

Sept. 2004 - to date                 Developping automatic trading systems specifically adjusted

to the foreign exchange market (FOREX).

Apr. 2001 - to date                  Working, in private, on a mathematical approach to what is,

apparently, contradicting the big-bang cosmology, i.e. various

evidence suggesting that the expansion of the universe is now

accelerating.This theoretical piece of research, having already

been completed, proves that most observations comply with a

relativistic steady-state model, according to which, a universal

force of fundamental nature acts exclusively on distant matter,

and has no effect on the course, or the intensity, of pure light.

Apr. 1999 - May 1999             Designed a partial model describing the one most complex

of all regular polyhedral spaces, as a construction consisting

of 690 curved segments and 222 nodes (it’s on my website).

Jan. 1999 - Mar. 1999             Extended the notion of a regular hyper-polyhedron to

that of a regular polyhedral space, thus prolonging the

initial list of six (6) finite (since being convex) spaces,

by 5 infinite ones, of which only 1 is Euclidean.

July 1998 - Dec. 1998             Conceived geometrically and designed the "dual" to the

following space frame, formally resembling to a regular

dodecahedron, and consisting of 600 composite parts of

only 15 types.

Dec. 1996 - July 1998             Invented a mathematical model and designed a complex

spatial frame, made of 720 curved, cylindrical segments.

This looked like a spherical sculpture corresponding to the

Euclidean translation of a hyper-spherical frame.

Nov. 1996                               Proved the existence of 6 regular 4-d hyper-polyhedrons,

and of at least two, in each dimension beyond the 4th._
