Prof. Nikos Mastorakis is an engineer, mathematician and university professor in many Universities. He is in the list of the most famous 7 Greek Professor of the University of Stanford. Seven Greek researchers among the over-productive ones in the world: https://www.ellines.com/en/good-news/41299-seven-greek-researchers-among-the-over-productive-ones-in-the-world .
He is a Full Professor at the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria and at the Hellenic Naval Academy and Honorary Professor at the University of Obuda, Budapest, Honorary Professor at the Vudapest Technological Institute, also in Budapest, Honorary Professor at the Technical University of Cluj, Romania, Honorary Professor at the University of Salerno, Italy and Visiting Professor at the University of Exeter, Great Britain. He is well known for his studies in System Theory and in particular Multidimensional Systems, Mathematical Modelling and Computational Mathematics. His research work on the factorization of multivariable polynomials made him particularly well known, as he was the first to work on this unsolved problem. He has also worked on the design of multivariate filters, stability and stability margin of multivariate systems, and various signal processing issues. He has been honored by the Romanian Academy of Sciences
Nikos Mastorakis studied at the Medical School of the University of Athens from 1982 to 1984 and from 1988 to 1989 without receiving a degree, and at the National Technical University of Athens from 1984 to 1988 at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he received the Diploma of Electrical Engineering with honours and first in his year and graduated one year earlier than the normal duration of studies. He completed a PhD thesis in the same Faculty which he completed with distinction in 1992. In the years 1993-1995 he attended the Department of Mathematics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Direction: Theoretical Mathematics) and also graduated with Honours. Nikos Mastorakis received First Prize in the Panhellenic Competition of the Hellenic Mathematical Society in 1982. During his studies at the NTUA he received the Papastavridio Scholarship for outstanding performance, and in 1991 he came first in the ICM competition in Applied Mathematics. As a Researcher: In 1998 he was invited by the University of Exeter UK to teach as a Visiting Professor for one semester, and in the academic years 2002-2003 and 2007-2008 he was a Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria.

In 2008 the Polytechnic University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania awarded him the title of Honorary Professor. In the same year, 2008, he received an Honorary Award from the Academy of Sciences of Bucharest, Romania. In 2011, the Technical College of Budapest Tech honored him with the title of Honorary Professor, while the University of Obuda, Budapest, Hungary awarded him the title of Honorary Professor in 2012. In 2014-2015 he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy. He was also invited by Professor Lotfi A. Zadeh as a Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley as a Visiting Professor for one year.

According to a study by Professor I. Ioannidis of Stanford, he is one of the 7 Greeks who are among the most productive scientists in the world .

Research work and achievements :
His research work on the factorization of multivariable polynomials made him particularly well known, as he was the first to work on this unsolved problem. He has also worked on the design of multivariate filters, stability and stability margin of multivariate systems, as well as on various signal processing, simulation, energy and software development topics. He has also been involved in literature, writing a book of 28 short stories, Grammar and Syntax of the Cretan dialect and another book with a collection of articles in the Athenian and Cretan press.
