More information
Dr. Chris Nikolopoulos, the recipient of the Fulbright Senior Scholar national award, has continued his teaching and research activities in Artificial Intelligence in the areas of Knowledge Based Systems, Machine Learning, evolutionary computation, Intelligent Agents, logic programming, and Data Mining. His book entitled First and Second Generation and Hybrid Knowledge Based Systems is widely used at institutions such as the University of Michigan, Florida State University, University of Lancaster, and others. He is presently working on his next book on Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science with emphasis on Formal Language Theory and Computability. Under the motto that Òscholarship is funÓ, Dr. Nikolopoulos continues to share the fun by working with his students on research projects. This semester, he is guiding two of his students in a Medical Risk Stratification project funded by CAT. In this project, machine learning techniques are used, developed, and evaluated to enable knowledge discovery in the medical domain. Last semester, in another project funded by industry, Neural Networks were used to investigate model building in the stock market domain. Dr. Nikolopoulos served as Computer Technology Consultant for the Olympic Committee at the Athens Olympic Games of 2004. He apologizes to his students for not taking some of them with him, but speaking Greek was one of the prerequisites.
