My name is ''' Georgios Ouzounis '''. I am a fourth year undergraduate student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece [http://ee.auth.gr/en/ link ] (engineering bachelor includes 5 years of studies in my country). I love computer programming, mathematics and engineering and I hope to be able to stay involved with them through my whole life. My native language is Greek and I can also use English very well. As the title of my School indicates, my current field of study is Electrical and Computer Engineering involving subjects related to electrical and electronic circuits and also subjects related to computers and engineering such as control theory, analog and digital signal processing, computer networks etc... | |||

My application for the Google Summer of Code 2014 on GNU Octave was rejected so applying on SOCIS is my second attempt on a program like this. Applying for participation in the Summer of Code in Space(SOCIS) is my first step towards real world software development. Until now I have been programming mainly for university projects so what I hope to gain from SOCIS is experience and knowledge on how to create software to be used by others. | |||

The past two years I had to deal with many university projects that required the use of software like Matlab or Octave. Using both of them I came | |||
to realize the power of such tools. That is the main reason why I chose Octave. I have actually wanted to contribute to Octave long before finding SOCIS but never found the nerve to try it until now. | to realize the power of such tools.
