Brief Biography:
Christoforos Hadjicostis received S.B. degrees in Electrical
Engineering, in Computer Science and Engineering, and in Mathematics,
the M.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in
1995, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science in 1999, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Cambridge, MA. In August 1999 he joined the Faculty at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he is currently an
Adjuct Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical and
Computer
Engineering, the Coordinated
Science Laboratory, and the
Information Trust Institute. Since August 2007, Dr. Hadjicostis
is with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
University of Cyprus where he is currently serving as the Department
Chair. Dr. Hadjicostis teaches and conducts
research
in the areas of systems and control, communication, and digital signal
processing. His current 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 applications to network security, anomaly detection, medical
diagnosis, biosequencing, and genetic regulatory models. Dr.
Hadjicostis serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions
on Control Systems Technology; he has also served as an
Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I
(Regular Papers) and as an Editor on the Conference Editorial
Board
of the IEEE Control Systems Society. At the University of
Illinois, Dr. Hadjicostis received the
Faculty Early Development (CAREER) award from the National Science
Foundation in February 2001, the ECE Faculty Outstanding Teaching
Award in 2003, and the Willett Faculty Scholar recognition from the
College of Engineering in 2005; at the University of Cyprus, he
received a Marie Curie International Reintegration Fellowship from the
European Commission. As a graduate student at MIT, he served
as president of
the MIT Chapter of HKN, received the Harold L. Hazen Teaching Award and
the Ernst A. Guillemin Thesis Prize, and received fellowships from the
National Semiconductor Corporation and the Grass Instrument
Company. Dr. Hadjicostis is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and Sigma
Xi,
and a senior member of the IEEE.
