Dimitris Nikolopoulos
joined the faculty of Computer Science at Virginia Tech as an Associate Professor in August 2006.
He is affiliated with the Center for High-End Computing Systems. Prior to joining VT, Dimitris was an
Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the College of William and Mary, from August 2002 till August 2006,
and a Visiting Assistant Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Coordinated Science
Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
from January 2001 till August 2002. He has also held positions
as a visiting researcher with the European Center for Parallelism in Barcelona, which evolved into the
Barcelona Supercomputing Center and as
a guest faculty member of the graduate program of the
Department of Computer Architecture at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in 1999, 2002, 2007, and 2008.
The main research interest of Dimitris is the hardware/software interface of chip-level and board-levelparallel architectures. His recent work
involves event-driven programming models for multi-grain parallelization
on heterogeneous platforms, dynamic performance prediction and
adaptation methods, and virtualization of many-core processors.
Among several distinctions, Dimitris has received an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award in 2004, a DOE Early Career
Principal Investigator Award in 2005, an IBM Faculty Award in 2007,
and 6 best awards for technical papers
published at Supercomputing'2000, IPDPS'2002, CCGrid'2002, ISHPC-IV, IWOMP'2005 and
PPoPP'2007.
His work is or has been supported by the National Science Foundation,
the U.S. Department of Energy ,
the European Union, IBM,
Virginia Tech, and
the College of William and Mary .
Dimitris has earned a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department
at the University of Patras under Theodore Papatheodorou.
