关于

Dimitris is a Principal Researcher with the AI Frontiers lab at MSR, and an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin. His research interests lie in the intersection of machine learning and optimization. He is particularly interested in the science of large language models and the challenges that arise once we aim to build systems around them.

Dimitris  earned his Ph.D. from UT Austin in 2014, under the supervision of Alex Dimakis, and spent two wonderful years as a postdoc at Berkeley working in the AMPLab with Ben Recht and Kannan Ramchandran. He received his ECE Diploma M.Sc. degree from the Technical University of Crete, in Greece. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award (2019), three years of Sony Faculty Innovation Awards (2018, 2019 and 2020), a joint IEEE ComSoc/ITSoc Best Paper Award (2020), an IEEE Signal Processing Society, Young Author Best Paper Award (2015), the Vilas Associate Award (2021), the Emil Steiger Distinguished Teaching Award (2021), and the Benjamin Smith Reynolds Award for Excellence in Teaching (2019).

In 2018, Dimitris co-founded MLSys, a new conference that targets research at the intersection of machine learning and systems.
