Welcome!
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Parallel Processing Group at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (PPG-UoA), working with Prof. Yiannis Cotronis. I received B.S. and PhD degrees in Computer Sciences from the University of Macedonia at Thessaloniki, in 1998 and 2005, respectively. My PhD thesis work was on Parallel Metaheuristic Algorithms, under the supervision of Prof. Konstantinos Margaritis (PDP Lab) . In this thesis, I presented two new implementations of Parallel Memetic Algorithm with dynamic strategy for controlling the local search frequency and demonstrate its utility in solving complex optimization problems.
