Christos Anagnostopoulos

Christos Anagnostopoulos is Reader (Associate Professor) in Distributed Computing & Data Engineering Systems at the University of Glasgow, where he directs the MSc Information Technology and MSc Software Development programmes. His research focuses on distributed computing, federated learning, and edge intelligence for large-scale systems.

Research interests span:

• Distributed ML/AI for edge environments
• Federated learning optimization
• Proactive data management in pervasive systems
• Edge-centric predictive analytics

Funded projects include EU Horizon grants TERRA, COIN-3D, ELLIE, and TRACE, focusing on intelligent platforms for climate services, 3D VLSI reliability, cultural heritage technologies, and logistics optimization. Additional support comes from EPSRC, Royal Academy of Engineering, and industry partners including BMW and NXP.

Recent publications (2024-2012) demonstrate innovations in edge-based task allocation, federated learning efficiency, distributed query processing, and mobile edge offloading. Article trends show consistent development of resource-aware distributed intelligence algorithms.

Serves as Editor-in-Chief of Open Computer Science and Associate Editor of IEEE Access, and General Chair of IEEE ICDCS 2025. Leads the Knowledge and Data Engineering Systems research group.
