Dimitrios S. (Dimitris) Nikolopoulos is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Crete and an affiliated faculty member of the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH). His research has contributed system components that improve the performance and energy efficiency of multi-core processors, computational accelerators, shared-memory multiprocessors and clusters. For his research work 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, and several best paper awards, including the Supercomputing'2000 Best Technical Paper Award and PPoPP'2007 Best Paper Award. Prior to joining the University of Crete and FORTH, he served as full-time faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the College of William and Mary and the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. Professor Nikolopoulos teaches introductory and advanced courses on parallel computing, computer organization, and operating systems. He earned a Diploma of Engineering and a PhD degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Patras. He is married to Kostoula-Christina Daniilidi and they live in Heraklion.
