Leandros Tassiulas is the John C. Malone Professor of Electrical Engineering at Yale University. His research interests are in the field of computer and communication networks with emphasis on fundamental mathematical models and algorithms of complex networks, architectures, and protocols of wireless systems, sensor networks, novel internet architectures, and experimental platforms for network research. His most notable contributions include the max-weight scheduling algorithm and the back-pressure network control policy, opportunistic scheduling in wireless, the maximum lifetime approach for wireless network energy management, and the consideration of joint access control and antenna transmission management in multiple antenna wireless systems. Dr. Tassiulas is a Fellow of IEEE (2007) and the ACM (2020). His research has been recognized by several awards including the IEEE Koji Kobayashi Computer and Communications Award (2016), the ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award 2020, the inaugural INFOCOM 2007 Achievement Award "for fundamental contributions to resource allocation in communication networks," several best paper awards including at INFOCOM 1994 and 2017 and Mobihoc 2016, a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Initiation Award (1992), an NSF CAREER Award (1995), an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (1997), and a Bodossaki Foundation Award (1999). He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park (1991) and a Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1987). He has held faculty positions at Polytechnic University, New York; University of Maryland, College Park; and University of Thessaly, and University of Ioannina, Greece. See less
