About Dr Christodoulos Efstathiades

Assistant Professor
Director BSc Computing

 
EXPERTISE

My expertise is in the Data Management and Analytics. I have extensive experience both in academia as well as in the industry through various Data Science/Engineering appointments. I am involved in interdisciplinary research that touches upon aspects of Data Engineering, Data Science, and the Internet of Things. More specifically, my research interests lie in database systems and geospatial data management for big data, genomic data science and the application of data mining and machine learning in other sciences.

SHORT BIO

I am the Director of the BSc in Computing and Business Technologies and an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UoL. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), and an MSc in Networked Computer Systems from the University College London (UCL). I have held positions  in both academia and industry in the fields of Data Management, Data Science and Analytics.
