Biography

Dr Ioannis Th. Paraskevopoulos is the CTO of IGOODI the first Italian Avatar Factory, where he leads a multidisciplinary team of developers and artists towards the company’s mission to populate digital online worlds with highly realistic and purposeful Avatars. He received his MSc in Wireless Communication Systems and PhD in 3D Multimedia Technologies and Serious Games from Brunel University London. He has extensive industrial experience, from the prestigious RAENg Industrial Fellowship at QinetiQ, to launching and leading the XR Expertise Centre of Altran in Italy and working in XR related projects for world leading clients in all vertical industries.
Before that he served in his career in academia in various UK Universities with final position as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computing and Information Systems at University of Greenwich. His research has gained attention from various media outlets and has won awards in International Conferences.
Ioannis has strong expertise in Applied XR technology and Serious Games in a very broad range of domains. More specifically, he is interested in user-centred design and evaluation of XR, serious games, interactive systems, multimedia applications and tools that promote knowledge transfer and behaviour change and facilitate well-being and better health in all social aspects. He has been researching and developing digital ecosystems to realise the potentials of a more sustainable society, particularly in the areas of education, training, health and defence.
