Lazaros Papadopoulos

Lazaros Papadopoulos serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace since May 2024, focusing on computational resource management for embedded and high-performance systems. His work bridges hardware-software co-design with energy-efficient computing paradigms.

His academic credentials include:

• Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace (2005)
• Master's degree from the same institution (2008)
• PhD from the National Technical University of Athens (2016)

Research centers on optimizing computing infrastructure through real-time resource management, heterogeneous memory architectures, and AI workload acceleration. His investigations target energy-performance tradeoffs in GPU systems, persistent memory integration, and edge-device neural network deployment, with direct applications in sustainable computing and high-performance data processing.

Publication analysis (2018-2022) reveals consistent focus on heterogeneous system optimization, particularly energy-aware GPU acceleration frameworks, memory management for DRAM/NVM hybrids, and efficient CNN implementations for edge devices. Key thematic threads include sustainable computing practices, hardware-aware AI deployment, and memory hierarchy innovations.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Two Best Paper Awards

Research leadership spans major EU initiatives: Work Package Coordinator for LAGO (Horizon Europe, 2022-2024) and PRAETORIAN (H2020, 2022-2024); Technical Coordinator for EXA2PRO (H2020, 2018-2021); and Work Package Coordinator roles in SDK4ED (H2020, 2018-2020) and EXCESS (H2020, 2013-2016). These projects address embedded systems security, exascale programming models, and energy-efficient computing toolchains.

He operates within the Computer Architecture and High Performance Systems laboratory, directing research on computational resource orchestration for next-generation heterogeneous platforms.
