CURRICULUM VITAE PETROS KARVELIS PERSONAL INFORMATION First Last Name Address E-Mail Petros Karvelis D. Kotrotsou 10B, Stavraki, Ioannina, Greece pkarvelis@gmail.com EDUCATION BSc in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, University of Ioannina BSc Thesis A study of convex polyhedron tetrahedralization algorithms. MSc in Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, University of Ioannina MSc Thesis Segmentation of human chromosome images. During my thesis we introduced a new algorithm for the segmentation of human chromosomes. We also introduced a new algorithm for the disentangling of touching and overlapping chromosomes. PhD, Department of Department of Computer Science, University of Ioannina. PhD thesis Processing and Analysing human chromosome images for the detection of chromosome abnormalities. During my thesis I have implemented many algorithms for the segmentation and classification of human chromosomes from multichannel as also from gray scale images.
