I am Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering & Informatics of the University of Patras since 2020. I was part of the faculty in the School of Informatics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki between 2008 to 2020. From 2005 until 2014 I was Adjunct Professor in Greek Open University as well. From 1/5/2011-31/10/2011 I was on sabbatical at MADALGO institute (center for MAssive Data ALGOrithmics) of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Aarhus in Denmark. From 4/1/2004 until 4/6/2005 I was a research assistant in the Department of Informatics of King's College London in the Algorithm Design Group. I was awarded a Ph.D. diploma in 2004. Extended Bio.

Nice Stuff

Here are some articles, books and videos I enjoyed reading or watching.

For the people that think that Acceptance Ratios of conferences shows the value of the accepted paper please take a look at the following paper (there are a lot more). Or else take a look at my publications to see a lot of "weak" publications with very high ARs.

G. Cormode, A. Chumaj and S. Muthukrishnan. How to Increase the Acceptance Ratios of Top Conferences, In Proc. of the 3rd Int. Conf. on Fun with Algorithms (FUN), 262-273, 2004.


Computer Science has a lot to learn, share and provide with/to other disciplines. One such book that provides such a connection (although somewhat weak) is the following:

Physics of Emergence and Organization. I.. Licata and A. Sakaji (editors), World Scientific Publishing, 2008.

Can the notion of algorithm provide new insight and be used as an expression tool in place of Math (or in conjuction with Math)? Take a look at this nice article by B. Chazelle on the notion of Algorithm.

Will algorithms be the next tool for the formalization of sciences and in particular of complex scientific phenomena? Will their role in the 21st century be what the role was for Math in the 20th century? Watch this video.

Yes, a slime mould can compute shortest paths - provided of course that food has been taken care of. Look at this paper.
