Overview

Dr Christos Kloukinas is a Reader (equivalent to an Associate Professor in the USA) at the Department of Computer Science.

Christos holds a BSc degree in Computer Science (1994) and an MSc degree in the fields of Parallel & Distributed Systems and Machine Vision & Robotics (1997), both from the University of Crete at Heraklion, Greece. He also holds a PhD degree in Informatics (2002) from the University of Rennes 1, France.

Before joining City University London, Christos worked as a programmer in the Machine Vision & Robotics Laboratory, Machine Learning group of ICS-FoRTH (Heraklion, Greece) and as a researcher in the PLEIADES - Parallel & Distributed Systems Laboratory of ICS-FoRTH, the Solidor research project of IRISA (Rennes, France), the Arles research project of INRIA-Rocquencourt (Paris, France) and the Verimag research laboratory (Grenoble, France).

While at City Christos has been/is currently involved as an investigator in the AERAS (2019/12-2023/11), Smart-Bear (2019/9-2023/8), CyberSure (2017/1-2020/12), Toreador (2016/1-2018/12), IoT@Work (2010/6-2013/6), SLA@SOI (2008/6-2011/7), Serenity (2006/1-2008/12), Pepers (2006/1-2008/6), and SeCSE (2004/10-2007/9) research projects.
