Dr. Apostolos Argyris was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in November of 1976. He received the B.Sc. degree in Physics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (1999), the M.Sc. degree in Microelectronics & Optoelectronics from the University of Crete, Greece (2001), the B.Sc. degree as an Observer Meteorologist from the Hellenic National Meteorogical Service (2005), and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece (2006).

During the period 2000-2001 he was with the Foundation of Research and Technology Hellas, Crete, working on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) fabrication and their applications in optical filtering, optical sensing, ice detection, CW and mode-locked fiber lasers systems. Since 2001 he is a researcher in the Optical Communications Laboratory of the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, participating in several National and International Research projects. From 2006 to 2009 he was a visiting professor in the Department of Computer Engineering, Telecommunications and Networks of the University of Thessaly.
