Position
|
|
I am Nikolas' and Yiannis'
father. I am also a professor in the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. I am
the co-leader of the Distributed Computing and
Systems Research Group. Formerly I was with these institutes.
My CV in pdf can be found here.

Research Interests
|
|
My current research interests center on distributed/parallel
computing and systems and information visualization in general. More
specifically my research interests include:
- efficient and fault tolerant inter-process communication/coordination
mechanisms, with applications in: i) Lock-free
programming and lock-free data structures for multicore and many core
systems, in particular on the EXCESS
and PEPPHER
project, the NOBLE library project and the Euro-TM
project. The WARPing, the Lockless-Spark98&Lockless-miniSPLASH2, the NBmalloc, the Dynamic Load
Balancing on Graphics Processors projects were also projects from the same
general area. ii) Algorithms for multicore systems, in particular in the
GPU Quicksort project.
- Secure Network Services and Communication.
- communication and data fusion in mobile systems in particular on
the MiNEMA programme and the DYNAMO action;
- visualization of distributed algorithms, files, networks and software, in
particular on the LYDIAN, the CausalViz, the CiteWiz and the
TrustNeighborhoods
projects.
- interactive visualization for reducing occlusion
in 3D environments, in particular on the PMorph and the
"Image-Space Dynamic Transparency" projects.
For more information please have a look at the page of the distributed
computing and systems research group, you can also look at the list of
my publications. A
couple of news and press releases from Chalmers (in Swedish) regarding our
research can be found here and here.
