个人简介
Vasileios Kokkinos received the diploma of electrical and computer engineering and the MSc in hardware-software integrated systems from the Engineering School of the University of Patras, Greece, in 1998 and 2001 respectively. After working for a few years in the microelectronics industry, he shifted his interest towards the brain. He was enrolled in the graduate program of the Medical School of the University of Patras and received the MSc in basic medical sciences: neurosciences in 2003, completing a thesis on the neurophysiology of the rat hippocampus. During the same period, he attended the undergraduate program of the Philosophy Department of the University of Patras, from which he graduated in 2005, with a thesis on neuroscience-derived theories of mind on visual perception. He was accepted in the neurological sciences graduate program at McGill University, completed a thesis on the neurophysiology of human eye-head motor co-ordination, and graduated in 2007.
Under the supervision of George K. Kostopoulos, MD, PhD, he joined the neurophysiology unit of the Medical School of the University of Patras and completed a PhD thesis on the neurophysiology of normal human sleep in 2010. One year of his PhD training (2008-2009) was devoted to an intense and highly specialized training in epilepsy at the National Society for Epilepsy, in London, England, where he was offered a training/research fellowship on fMRI and EEG-fMRI for pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy, under the supervision of John S. Duncan, MD, PhD, and Louis Lemieux, PhD. During the same time, he was accepted in the graduate course on epileptology at King’s College in London, from which he graduated in 2009 with distinction, completing a thesis on invasive electrical cortical stimulation for patients undergoing epilepsy surgery under the supervision of Gonzalo Alarcon, MD, PhD, and Antonio Valentin, MD, PhD. He also attended the research team of the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology and Epilepsies at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London where he was trained in pediatric and adult epileptic EEG by Chrysostomos P. Panayiotopoulos, MD, PhD, and Michalis Koutroumanidis, MD, PhD.
From 2009 to 2016 he was head of neurophysiology, functional neuroimaging and neuronavigation of the epilepsy program at St. Luke’s Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece—a clinical appointment requiring constant collaboration and coordination between the neurology, radiology and neurosurgery departments. His responsibilities in the pediatric and adult epilepsy program at St. Luke’s Hospital included the performance and supervision of procedures during both the non-invasive (video-EEG, MRI, fMRI, EEG-fMRI, DTI-tractography) and the invasive phases (acute and chronic ECoG, cortical electrical stimulation, neuronavigation) of the pre-surgical evaluation and surgical treatment protocol. From 2010 to 2017 he held a post-doctoral fellowship position at the neurophysiology unit of the University of Patras Medical School under the mentorship of Dr. Kostopoulos, with a focus on the neurophysiologic relations of sleep and epilepsy. In collaboration with St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, he completed a second PhD thesis on neurophysiological features of focal and generalized epileptic syndromes of childhood in 2016.
In 2017, he joined the Department of Neurological Surgery of the University of Pittsburgh as Instructor. He supported the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program of University of Pittsburgh in surgical sEEG planning, intra-operative coordination and electrode implantation optimization for sEEG procedures, 3D reconstruction of sEEG implantation, iEEG interpretation and cortical electrical stimulation. Among other works, he discovered and published the first evidence for electrophysiological biomarkers of clinical response to RNS therapy and established the intracranial EEG correlate of the 14&6/sec positive spikes EEG variant, which he named hippocampal barque. Dr. Kokkinos became Instructor of Neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 2019, focusing on clinical epilepsy research and supporting the Epilepsy Surgery and Clinical MEG Programs in the context of pre-surgical evaluation, surgical planning and invasive procedures. In 2022, he completed a third PhD thesis on functional neuroimaging for epilepsy and brain tumor surgery. In 2023 he joined the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL, as Epilepsy Clinical Neurophysiology and Image Processing Specialist, to develop the multi-modal integration workflow for surgical planning and decision-making. He is Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. He is board-certified for epilepsy surgery neurophysiology (R EEG/EP T, CNIM, NA-CLTM). He is a Fellow of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, currently member of its International Relations and Course Committees.
