Biography

Foteini Simistira Liwicki received her Ph.D. diploma from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, NTUA, Greece, in the field of Pattern Recognition in 2015 with the title “Recognition of online handwritten mathematical expressions”. From 1997 till 2015, she worked as Research Associate in the Institute of Language and Speech Processing, ATHENA R.C., where she was mainly responsible for research programs in the field of Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. She was also highly involved in the design and development of innovative educational platforms (targeting mainly high school education in Greece but also in other European countries). From 2015 till June 2019 she worked as a PostDoc fellow in the University of Fribourg (DIVA research group) in the field of Document Image Analysis and Database generation. From June 2018 till June 2019 she worked as a PostDoc fellow with the Machine Learning group at the Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.

From May 2022, she is working as Associate Professor at the Luleå University, in the area of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
