Yannis Paschalidis Named the 2020 Charles DeLisi Distinguished Lecturer
Professor Yannis Paschalidis is the 2020 recipient of the Charles DeLisi Award and Distinguished Lecture. This award celebrates high-impact research in engineering. This showcasing event allows all members of the Boston University community to meet a distinguished scholar selected from the College of Engineering faculty discussing a topic of recognized excellence.
Professor Paschalidis will present on “Data Science and Optimization Adventures in Computational Biology and Medicine.” In this lecture, he will present several seemingly disparate areas of his work in computational biology and medicine connected through the use of data science and optimization methods. Topics range from the molecular to the whole organism/disease level and models progress from predictive to prescriptive. The date and time of the presentation has been posted from April 27th, 4PM, to a date and time to be announced later.
Yannis Paschalidis is a Professor and Data Science Fellow in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 系统工程, Biomedical Engineering, and Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University. He is the Director of the Center for Information and 系统工程 (CISE), a university-wide interdisciplinary research center at Boston University administered by the College of Engineering.
Professor Paschalidis has distinguished himself as a researcher, scholar, and educator whose work spans the fields of systems and control, optimization, networks, operations research, computational biology and medical informatics. Dr. Paschalidis’ research has impacted a breadth of applications, including predictive health analytics, protein docking, autonomous robots, sustainable energy, and smart cities, among others.
At BU since 1996, Dr. Paschalidis has authored more than 200 refereed publications with his students and collaborators from diverse disciplines. He has been a PI or Co-PI on numerous interdisciplinary grants totaling more than $43 million and has advised 24 Ph.D. theses.
