Dr. Vassilis Alimisis receives the 2025 Bodossaki Foundation National Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Vassilis Alimisis has been awarded one of the four National Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in memory of Stamatis G. Matzavinos for 2025, granted by the Bodossaki Foundation.
His research project, entitled “ML/AI Analog and Hybrid Computing Hardware Architectures” commenced in September 2025 and focuses on the development of energy-efficient analog and neuromorphic computing architectures for next-generation artificial intelligence systems.
This fellowship supports the continuation of his research at the Athena Research Center, within the Archimedes Unit, on analog and hybrid computing hardware architectures for artificial intelligence. This distinction represents a significant recognition of his scientific work and further strengthens his commitment to advancing energy-efficient analog computation and neuromorphic design methodologies.
Short CV: Dr. Vassilis Alimisis is an Analog IC Design Engineer and AI Computing Researcher.
