Who we are

The Thessaloniki Integrated Systems Research Group (THESSIS) was established in 2019 at AUTH as an inter-disciplinary collaborative research environment between the Departments of  Electrical and Computer Engineering Informatics and  Physics  AUTH, with the main goal to carry out interdisciplinary research in the fields of computer architecture, FPGAs, analog and digital circuit design and related electronic design automation tools; thereby we address pressing challenges in growing applications domains, including Big Data, HPC, IoT, CPS and ML.

THESSIS span out of the amalgamation of the:

The Group is equipped with state-of-the-art hardware infrastructure for conducting research in analog, digital and embedded systems for the edge and Cloud, which in turn serve as vertical technologies to various applications domains. In detail, the members of THESSIS group have been at the forefront of world research and development in the fields of:

  • Hardware acceleration for DataCenters, High-Performance Computing, Cloud and the Edge.
  • Design domain specific processors for machine learning and neural network accelerators.
  • Hardware/Software co-design technologies and tools for Performance and Quality-of-Service vs. Cost optimizations.
  • Circuit Design for state-of-the-art and emerging technologies (e.g. 3-D/2.5-D Integration, Digital & Analog/RFMS Circuit Design, Spintronics, etc).
  • Resource orchestration for CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) and IoT Platforms.

THESSIS has a track-record in European research project participation, with its team members having participated in more than 19 FP7 and H2020 EU research projects during the last 10 years, often acting also as the project coordinators or Work Package leaders. It has a world-wide network of collaborators from leading research institutions and industry from Greece, Europe and USA.
