Anthony Chronopoulos

Bio

Anthony Chronopoulos obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA with a Thesis in Numerical Linear Algebra. He is currently a visiting professor at Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS). He is a full professor emeritus at the Department of Computer Science, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA. Also, he has been a visiting professor at the Department Computer Engineering & Informatics, University of Patras, Greece.

He is the author of over 200 peer-reviewed journal and conference proceedings publications (that can be accessed at the ResearchGate webpage).  His most significant contributions are in (i) Communication Avoiding’ (s-step) Krylov Subspace Methods (KSM) for sparse linear problems that are scalable on Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) and (ii) Game theory (GT) based load balancing (LB) algorithms for distributed computing systems (DCS) (e.g. Clouds, Grids, IoT).
