Nikos Chrisochoides is the Richard T. Cheng Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Old Dominion University and John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in Medicine and Health. He is elected a Distinguished Visiting Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering at the UK. His research interests are in parallel mesh generation, medical image computing and parallel and distributed scientific computing. His research is application-driven. Currently he is working on real-time mesh generation for biomedical applications like non-rigid registration for Image Guided Neurosurgery. He received his M.Sc. (in Mathematics) and Ph.D. (in Computer Science) degrees from Purdue University. Then he moved to Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University as the Alex Nason Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Sciences. After NPAC he worked in the Advanced Computing Research Institute, at Cornell University. He joined (as an Assistant Professor in January 1997) the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. In the Fall of 2000, he moved to the College of William and Mary (W&M) as an Associate Professor, in 2004 he was awarded the Alumni Memorial Distinguished Professorship and in 2008 he became Full professor. Currently he is an Adjunct Professor at W&M. Chrisochoides has more than 150 technical publications in parallel scientific computing. He has held visiting positions at Harvard Medical School (Spring 2005), MIT (Spring 2005), Brown (Fall 2004) as an IBM Professor, and NASA/Langley (Summer 1994).
