(work) 22403133, (Cell): 99208151 Who is who: George Adamides was born on March 30, 1971 in Nicosia, Cyprus. He holds a Bachelor of Science (1997) and Master of Science (1999) degrees in Computer Science, both from Western Michigan University, USA. He recently received a PhD (2016) in Information and Communication Systems from the Open University of Cyprus. His research interests include, ICT in agriculture, robotics in agriculture, information transfer and knowledge sharing, Human-Computer Interaction and Human-Robot Interaction. In his doctoral thesis, George investigated the aspects and factors of the user interface that may affect its usability and the human-robot interaction awareness, especially for teleoperated mobile robots used for agricultural tasks.
