-Notes on professional activities to be completed soon…+On the professional front, after the RISC days at Berkeley, I taught architecture and VLSI design at Stanford for about two years, and then I returned to my homeland, Greece. 
 +Although my family comes from Samos (an island in the East Aegean sea) and I grew up in Athens, I found Crete, the large island in the South of Greece, to be the best place for Computer Science in Greece, and that is where I am since 29 years ago, teaching CS at the University of Crete, and doing my research in FORTH --the leading Research Center of Greece
 +After RISC, my research has been on interconnection networks and on interprocessor communication. 
 +Our most project is "EuroServer", where, with our partners from several European countries, we build low-power ARM-based micro-servers for data centers. 
 +See [[http://users.ics.forth.gr/~kateveni/]] for more info.

-I currently divide my time on a semi-monthly basis, between New England and Marin County, California.  While east, I enjoy reuniting with my many cousins and friends, and devote time to managing aging family.  A more recent focus is helping with events at the Sherburne Nature Center in Tyngsboro, MA, which was a gift to the town from my father & his siblings.  During my stays west, I enjoy the many recreational opportunities including bicycling, hiking, kayaking, and windsurfing.  Soon after the RISC project,  I was involved in design work for PIXAR, Silicon Graphics, Nintendo, and numerous other Silicon Valley companies;  and hold patents in areas of graphics performance and low-power design.  I continue to enjoy the camaraderie of the many friends and co-workers dating back to my Berkeley days.+I currently divide my time on a semi-monthly basis, between New England and Marin County, California.  While east, I enjoy reuniting with my many cousins and friends, and devote much time to managing aging family.  A more recent focus is helping with events at the Sherburne Nature Center in Tyngsborough, MA, which was a gift to the town from my father & his siblings.  During my stays west, I enjoy the many recreational opportunities including bicycling, hiking, kayaking, windsurfing, and cross country skiing.  Soon after the RISC project,  I was involved in design work for PIXAR, Silicon Graphics, Nintendo, and numerous other Silicon Valley companies;  and hold patents in areas of computer graphics performance, wireless, and low-power design.  I continue to enjoy the camaraderie of the many friends and co-workers dating back to my Berkeley days

 +I am now officially retired, so I only come to my office 5½ days per week rather than 6½ days as before. Now I don’t do Prelims or personnel cases anymore, but focus on what I love to do:  Geometry and its applications to puzzles and toys (1), to mathematical visualization models (2), to sculptures (3), and to buildings (4). Examples are: (1) LEGO-Knots; (2) a non-orientable surface of genus 4, i.e., the connected sum of two Klein bottles with tetrahedral symmetry; (3) “Evolving Trefoil” in the Science building at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, MO; (4) the Jacobs Design Innovation Institute, which is just emerging out of a big hole, where once there was a volley ball court.

 +My other big love is my family, here shown in a gathering in Tilden Park, just a couple of miles behind our home.  Greti and I have been together now for 50 years.  Our daughter Eveline has married an authentic cowboy; they and their three daughters live in Sierra Valley, surrounded by lots of open space. André, after having spent a decade in the financial world in Manhattan, has moved back to San Francisco, and we now have more opportunities to goof off together, like doing head-stands at the beach. No longer constrained by a rigid teaching schedule, Greti and I can do more traveling for fun and go hiking in the high Sierras.
