Georgios Selimis

PhD, Msc (EE)

I am a cybersecurity and cryptography professional with expertise spanning security architecture, standardisation, regulatory compliance, and emerging security technologies. My work bridges technical, regulatory, and policy-driven perspectives, with a particular focus on cryptography, security protocols, trust infrastructures, and secure digital ecosystems.

I have over 20 years of experience working in international and multidisciplinary environments, collaborating with regulators, industry, academia, standardisation bodies, and certification stakeholders. I have led and mentored engineering teams and supervised PhD and Master's students from diverse backgrounds.

I hold a PhD (2008) in Cryptographic Design and diploma (2003) on Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras in Greece.

Experience

-Cybersecurity Advisor, Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur (RDI), Eindhoven, Netherlands (2025-Present).: Digital Secure Products; In my role as Coordinating Specialist Advisor at the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI), I contribute to ensuring that technologies entering the European market meet cybersecurity, safety, and interoperability requirements. I actively participate in European and international standardisation activities, contributing to the development of cybersecurity standards and supporting the evolution of secure digital infrastructures and trust services.
-Lead Security Architect, Axelera AI, Eindhoven, Netherlands (2022-2025).: Security Chip Design for AI accelerators; Responsible for defining and implementing the security architecture of complex AI systems. This included market analysis, product, security risk assessment, threat modelling, security requirements and the development of end-to-end security concepts across hardware and software domains. I established the security architecture from the ground up and guided its implementation throughout the product lifecycle, from concept and design to successful silicon tape-out.
-Security architect, Intrinsic ID (acquired by Synopsys Inc.), Eindhoven, Netherlands (2016-2022).: I worked on security solutions and root-of-trust technologies, focusing on secure authentication, key management, and trust establishment mechanisms for secure digital systems.
-Research & Development Engineer, Imec, Eindhoven, Netherlands (2008-2015).: I led R&D projects at imec Nederland in cybersecurity, secure communications, and digital trust technologies. My work included security architectures for critical applications, secure wireless systems, and the evaluation of cryptographic and hardware-assisted security mechanisms.
-Researcher, University of Patras, Patras, Greece (2003-2008).: Research on low resourses applied cryptography
