Iliopoulos Georgios

Iliopoulos Georgios is a Professor and Department Chair at the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, School of Finance and Statistics, University of Piraeus. He has held this position since 2015, following his progression from Assistant Professor (2003-2010) to Associate Professor (2010-2015) at the same institution.

Education:

• 1993: B.A. in Mathematics, Department of Mathematics, University of Patras
• 1999: PhD in Statistics, Department of Mathematics, University of Patras

Iliopoulos specializes in statistical theory and methodology, with particular expertise in Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, Statistical Decision Theory, and Scale parameter estimation. His research focuses on accurate inference under censorship and constrained inference arrangement, addressing fundamental challenges in statistical analysis of complex data structures. His work bridges theoretical statistics with practical applications in reliability analysis and survival analysis.

His publication record shows consistent contributions to exact statistical inference methods, particularly for censored data and complex distributions like Laplace and Gamma. His research demonstrates expertise in both parametric and semiparametric approaches, with significant work on variance reduction techniques in computational statistics and solutions to the label switching problem in Bayesian mixture models.

Iliopoulos teaches undergraduate courses including Linear Algebra, Statistics II: Hypothesis Testing, and Special Topics in Statistics (Bayesian Statistics), as well as the postgraduate course Computational Statistical Techniques for the Master of Science in Applied Statistics.
