I am a Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus. I hold a Ph.D. (December 2003) and M.Sc. (May 2002) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Connecticut and a B.Sc. (June 1998) in Mathematics from the University of Cyprus. My research interests are on the Theory and Practice of Fault-tolerant Distributed and Parallel Computing with a focus on Algorithms and Complexity. I have published more than 100 refereed articles in international journals and conference proceedings in my area of study and I have co-authored two books on Distributed Fault-tolerant Cooperative Computing. On August 2021 I have co-edited a book on the Principles of Blockchain Systems. I have served on the Program Committees of top conferences in Distributed Computing as well as on the Steering Committees of the International Symposium on Distributed Computing-DISC (2008-2010, 2010-2012) and the ACM Symposium on the Principles of Distributed Computing-PODC (2014-2015). In 2015, I served as the General Chair of PODC 2015. I am currently chairing the Steering Committee of ACM PODC (2021-2024). My research has been funded by the University of Cyprus, the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation and the European Union.
