Short Biography

Yannis Paschalidis is a Professor and Distinguished Faculty Fellow in the College of Engineering at Boston University with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Division of Systems Engineering. He is a Co-Director of the Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) - a Boston University research center with 30 affiliated faculty and more than $ 8 million annually in externally funded research projects. He is also affiliated with the BioMolecular Engineering Research Center (BMERC). Prof. Paschalidis serves as the Academic Director of the Sensor Network Consortium (SNC) - an industry consortium he spearheaded which currently consists of 14 companies focusing in sensor networks.

He completed his graduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) receiving an M.S. (1993) and a Ph.D. (1996) degree, both in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In September 1996 he joined Boston University where he has been ever since. He has held visiting appointments with MIT, and the Columbia University Business School. His current research interests lie in the fields systems and control, networking, applied probability, optimization, operations research, computational biology, and bioinformatics. His recent work has found applications in communication and sensor networks, protein docking, logistics, cyber-security, robotics, the smart-grid, and finance.

His work on communication networks has been recognized with a CAREER award (2000) from the National Science Foundation and the second prize in the 1997 George E. Nicholson paper competition by INFORMS. His work on computational biology led to a best performance at an international protein docking competition. He was an invited participant at the 2002 Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, organized by the National Academy of Engineering. He has served in the program committees of numerous conferences, is a senior member of the IEEE, an associate editor of the ACM Trans. on Sensor Networks, the SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (SICON), and a past Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and the Operations Research Letters.
