Mr Andreas Andreou earned his four-year bachelor degree in a mathematics program that combined math, statistics, probability and operational research at Patra’s university. Thereafter, he pursued postgraduate studies in Computational Mathematics and Informatics in Education and completed his Master’s degree at the Department of Mathematics at the same university. His Master’s thesis titled ‘Numerical solution of equations an interpolation by computer for the educational process’ presents the numerical methods of bisection, Regula-Falsi, secant and Newton–Raphson for solving nonlinear equations, and forward and backward differences interpolation formulae of Newton–Gregory are presented in detail with emphasis on educational procedures. Currently, he is a Research Associate at the University of Nicosia Research Foundation (UNRF) as well as a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Nicosia. The main research project he is working on is titled ‘Smart and Healthy Ageing through People Engaging in Supportive Systems (SHAPES)’ which is funded by the European Union’s ‘Horizon 2020’ research and innovation programme. The roles he has in the project is as a technical partner providing technology-oriented assistance in conjunction with analytical data and forecasting algorithms for assisted living solutions.
