**Meet the editor**

Dr Ioannis Kypraios received his BEng in Computer Systems Engineering with first class honours. He has an MSc in Modern Digital communication Systems with distinction. He was awarded an EU Bursary and in 2004 he completed his Doctorate at University of Sussex in Fully-Robust Object Recognition Systems. He is the author of over 30 submitted and/or published papers

in high quality refereed International conferences and journals, including IEEE Proceedings, IET Sussex Network Special Presentation Series, Optical Society of America (OSA) Applied Optics Journal and SPRINGER Special Series, over 20 Technical Reports and he has presented his research results at several public exhibitions and invited seminars. In 2008, Dr. Kypraios became a full-time Research Fellow (Research Assist. Prof.-USA level) at University of Sussex. In January 2011, he became Senior Lecturer at Department of Engineering and IT, ICTM, London, and in April 2012 he joined the APEM Computing Labs (Remote Sensing and R&D Division) at Begbroke Science Park of University of Oxford, UK. Dr. Kypraios is a full member of several processional bodies including the IET and IEEE, and he is a registered FP7 Expert/Reviewer and a registered IEEE Expert Spokesperson. In February 2012, he was appointed as an IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) GOLD Subcommittee panel member.
