Dimitris Nikolopoulos

Dimitrios S. (Dimitris) Nikolopoulos is Professor in the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at Queen's University of Belfast, where he holds the Chair in High Performance and Distributed Computing (HPDC) and is Director of the HPDC Research Cluster. Professor Nikolopoulos is also an affiliated faculty member of the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), and a member of the Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems Laboratory. His research interests are on the interface between hardware and software of parallel computer architectures. Together with his students and research associates, Prof. Nikolopoulos has contributed numerous software and hardware components that improved the performance, programmability and energy efficiency of multi-core and multi-processor systems, systems based on computational accelerators, and large scale HPC clusters. For his research he has been awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, a Department of Energy Early Career Principal Investigator Award, an IBM Faculty Award, a Marie Curie Fellowship, a Fellowship from the European Network of Excellence in High Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilation (HIPEAC), and several best paper awards, including the Supercomputing'2000 Best Technical Paper Award and PPoPP'2007 Best Paper Award. Prior to joining Queen's University, Professor Nikolopoulos has been with the faculty of Computer Science at the University of Crete, the faculty of Computer Science at Virginia Tech, and the faculty of Computer Science at College of William and Mary. Professor Nikolopoulos teaches introductory and advanced courses on parallel computing, parallel programming, computer organization, computer architecture, operating systems, and embedded systems programming. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Senior Member of the ACM. Professor Nikolopoulos earned a Diploma of Engineering and a PhD in Computer Engineering and Informatics from the University of Patras. He is married to Kostoula-Christina Daniilidi and they live in Belfast. Dimitris Nikolopoulos
