Chrysostomos Nicopoulos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Cyprus. Chrysostomos received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering (specializing in Computer Engineering) from the Pennsylvania State University, USA, in 2003 and 2007, respectively. As a member of the Microsystems Design Laboratory at Penn State, Chrysostomos was actively involved in the research of packet-based Networks-on-Chip (NoC) and their implementation in multicore computer architectures. His Ph.D. dissertation, titled: "Network-on-Chip Architectures: A Holistic Design Exploration," received the 2008 Outstanding Dissertation Award in the area of "New directions in logic and system design" by the European Design and Automation Association (EDAA). From 2007 to 2008, he worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Processor Architecture Laboratory at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is currently the director of the multicore Computer Architecture Laboratory (multiCAL) at the University of Cyprus. His research interests lie in the areas of: computer architecture, multi-/many-core microprocessor and system design, architectural support for massively parallel computing, and Networks-on-Chip.
