Christos Nicolaides is a Marie S. Curie Fellow and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Business and Public Administration at University of Cyprus (UCY). He has also secondary appointment as a Digital Fellow at the Initiative on the Digital Economy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Before joining UCY, Christos spent three years as a Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT Sloan School of Management funded by the James McDonnell Foundation. He has a PhD in Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MSc in Applied Mathematics from Imperial College London and BSc in Physics from University of Thessaloniki.
His research focus on applying mathematical, statistical and computational tools to large-scale empirical and data driven research questions with applications in identification of social influence that is mediated, amplified, or directed by interactive technologies. He has worked closely with global firms on realizing business value from social media and information technology investments. Christos’ research developments have been published in major scientific journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature Communications and have been featured at prestigious news outlets including TheNew York Times, CNN and Los Angeles Times. On February 6, 2020, Christos was named as “Professor of The Week” by Poets & Quants.
He is principal institutional investigator in research projects funded by European Commission, industry, the Cyprus Innovation and Research Foundation and the Cyprus Ministry of Health. Christos has totally attracted over 1M euros in research funding for his institution.
