91, Aglantzias Ave.
Christoforos Hadjicostis received S.B. degrees, the M.Eng. degree, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). From 1999 to 2007, he was Assistant and then Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since 2007, he is with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cyprus, where he is currently Professor and Interim Director of the DAEDALUS Research Center. His research focuses on fault diagnosis and tolerance in distributed dynamic systems; error control coding; monitoring, diagnosis, and control of large-scale discrete event systems; and related applications in embedded systems, distributed robotics, and anomaly detection and network security. He is the author of a book on “Estimation and Inference in Discrete-Event Systems: A Model-Based Approach with Finite Automata” and a research monograph on “Coding Approaches to Fault Tolerance in Combinational and Dynamic Systems”. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems and as Senior Editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Dr. Hadjicostis is a Fellow of the IEEE.
