John Liagouris

Dr. John Liagouris is an Assistant Professor at Boston University's Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences, appointed since July 2022. Previously, he served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor (2020–2022) and held roles at BU’s Hariri Institute for Computing, ETH Zurich’s Systems Group, UC Berkeley’s RISELab, and the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on distributed systems, databases, and secure analytics, with a strong emphasis on privacy-preserving technologies in cloud environments.

He earned a 5-year diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2008) and a PhD (2015) from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His academic journey includes visiting scholar positions at UC Berkeley and the University of Hong Kong, alongside research roles at the Athena Research Center in Greece.

Liagouris’s research spans cryptographic cloud analytics, streaming state management, and spatial RDF data systems. His work on frameworks like Queryshield and TVA demonstrates expertise in securing distributed data processing. Recent trends in his publications emphasize multi-party computation and latency-conscious distributed systems.

His contributions to fault-tolerant systems (e.g., Lineage Stash) and incremental routing logic (DeltaPath) highlight a focus on optimizing distributed workflows. Though no formal advising records are listed, his roles suggest active involvement in training researchers in distributed computing and cybersecurity.

Labs and teams associated with his work include BU’s Hariri Institute and collaborations with institutions like ETH Zurich’s Systems Group, reflecting a networked approach to academic research.
