TASSOS D. DIMITRIOU
Associate Professor AIT
Dr Tassos Dimitriou is an Associate professor at Athens
Information Technology and adjunct faculty of
Information
Networking Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, USA. He
is interested in various aspects of Theoretical Computer
Science like combinatorial optimization, design and analysis
of heuristics/probabilistic algorithms for difficult to
solve problems, sensor and RFID networks, computer and
network security (especially why the latter is so difficult
to achieve in real life…).
At AIT he is also leading the
Algorithms and Security group
where the primary objective is to bring together expertise
in education, research and practice in the field of
information security and algorithms. Members in the group
conduct research in areas spanning from the theoretical
foundations of cryptography to the design and implementation
of leading edge efficient and secure communication
protocols. He is also the regular organizer of
PRACSE, an annual event event blending together
tutorials, keynote presentations and ongoing work, focusing
on issues related to important properties of systems and
business security, however, with an emphasis on practical
aspects of security. Further evidence to the importance of
PRACSE is given by its list of eminent academics and
professionals that participate and most notably its keynote
speakers.
Dr Dimitriou’s research in the above fields has resulted in
numerous publications, some of which received distinction,
and numerous invitations for talks in prestigious
conferences like the International World Wide Web conference
and InfoCom. Furthermore, apart from his duties at AIT, he
regularly consults with companies on topics related to
security and he gives short and professional courses aimed
at professionals and people who want to become familiar with
the exciting field of network security. Dr. Dimitriou is a
member of IEEE, ACM and a Fulbright fellow.
