My name is Anastasios Kyrillidis (Αναστάσιος Κυριλλίδης), but most people call me by the nickname ‘Tasos’ (‘Τάσος’). Currently, I’m a Noah Harding Assistant Professor at the Computer Science department at Rice University.

Prior to that, I was a Goldstine PostDoctoral Fellow at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center (NY), and a Simons Foundation PostDoc member at the University of Texas at Austin. I finished my PhD at the CS Department of EPFL (Switzerland).

My research interests include (but not limited to):

• Optimization for machine learning
• Convex and non-convex algorithms and analysis
• Large-scale optimization
• Any problem that includes a math-driven criterion, and requires an efficient method for its solution.
