Biography

Paschalidis received a diploma degree in electrical engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 1991,^[3] and an M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)^[4] in 1993 and 1996, respectively. His doctoral thesis was on "Large Deviations in High-Speed Communication Networks"^[5] supervised by Dimitris Bertsimas and John Tsitsiklis.^[6] In September 1996, he joined the Boston University College of Engineering, where he has been ever since.^[4] He has held visiting appointments at Columbia University and MIT. His research interests lie in the fields of optimization, control, stochastic systems, machine learning, computational medicine, and computational biology. He has published a monograph^[7] and more than 220 refereed papers in these topics, and he has been the primary advisor to 26 Ph.D. theses.
