The evaluation committee’s criticism for the PhD Candidate:
A1. Academic performance: 40 out of 50
A2. Candidate Profile: 39.50 at 50
The candidate has a long-term professional experience related to the subject of Applied Informatics, as well as collaborations with Universities of Greece and Cyprus. There is enough activity of participation in training and scientific publications on the subject of the doctorate. The need for the biometric identification system to be developed is adequately analysed as well as any potential risks to the user from its application, given that mobile devices are connected to the internet. The DP’s interest in the PhD thesis, as documented in the accompanying letter, appears to be genuine – as is shown by the above-mentioned CV – and his motivations are based on the need for excellence in his areas of interest. He still shows remarkable willingness to develop and cultivate research and innovation culture and elements of an integrated personality capable of dedicating himself to the dissertation. He is crucially oriented in identifying new research capabilities with enthusiasm for his scientific integration and his future involvement in research and technology policies and the development of research organizations by attracting external funding.
