Dimitrios S. Nikolopoulos (born August 25th, 1973) is a Greek-British computer scientist, the John W. Hancock Professor of Engineering at Virginia Tech,[1][2] and an IEEE Fellow.[3][4][5][6]

Education

[edit]

In 1996, Nikolopoulos completed his bachelor's in computer engineering and informatics at the University of Patras.[1][2] In 1997 he completed his master's and in 2000 he completed his Ph.D. in computer engineering at the same University.[7] His Ph.D. thesis research on improving data access locality on shared memory multiprocessors with non-uniform memory access latency received the Best Technical Paper Award from the ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference.[6]

Career

[edit]

In 2001, he started his academic career as a visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2002, he joined the College of William & Mary, as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. In 2006, he became an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. In 2009, he moved back to Greece as an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Crete and a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Computer Science at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas.[6]

In 2012, he was appointed to the Chair of High Performance and Distributed Computing, and as a Professor and Director of Research at Queens University Belfast. In 2016, he was also appointed as the Head of the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.[3][4] In 2018, he became the director of the Institute on Electronics, Communications and Information Technology. In 2019 he moved back to Virginia Tech as the John W. Hancock Professor of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science.[6][8]

Awards and Recognition

[edit]

Nikolopoulos is an IEEE Fellow,[3][4] an elected Royal Society Wolfson Fellow, a Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association, a Fellow of the British Computer Society, and a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology. Additionally, he holds the titles of Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery[1] and Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE Computer Society.[6]
