Mavronicolas Marios

Professor Mavronicolas Marios is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus. His academic journey includes a Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) from the National Technical University of Athens (1985) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Harvard University (1992). His research focuses on Algorithm Theory, Game Theory, Distributed Computing, Networking, and Internet Systems. He has held visiting positions at institutions such as the University of Connecticut and the University of Paderborn. Over 100 publications in top-tier venues highlight his contributions to computational complexity, Nash equilibria, and network security. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications, emphasizing strategic decision-making and distributed systems.

Research areas include the computational complexity of Nash equilibria, game-theoretic models for network security, and algorithmic challenges in distributed systems. He has explored topics like risk-averse equilibria, congestion games, and the structural properties of multi-player games. His recent work addresses decision problems in win-lose scenarios and the existence of equilibria under varying valuation functions.
