Chryssis Georgiou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus. He holds a PhD (2003) and MSc (2002) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Connecticut. His research interests span the theory and practice of fault-tolerant distributed computing with a focus on algorithms and complexity. Recent research topics include the specification and implementation of distributed ledgers, the design and implementation of fault-tolerant and strongly consistent distributed storage systems, and the design and analysis of self-stabilizing distributed systems. He has published more than 100 articles in journals and conference proceedings in his area of study and he has co-authored two books on robust distributed cooperative computing. He has served on several program committees of conferences in distributed and parallel computing and on the steering committees of DISC and ACMPODC (he is currently chairing the steering committee). He served as the General Chair of PODC 2015, the Self-Stabilizing Systems Track Program Committee co-Chair of SSS 2017, the General co-Chair of ApPLIED 2018 and ApPLIED 2019, and the PC co-Chair of NETYS 2020. Since January 2018, he has been on the editorial board of Information Processing Letters . Dr. Georgiou's research has been funded by the University of Cyprus, the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation, and the European Commission. See less
