معرفی
Theofanis Sapatinas is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Cyprus, within the School of Natural and Applied Sciences. He has maintained this position since 2010, following his progression from Assistant Professor (2001-2005) to Associate Professor (2005-2010) at the same institution.
His educational background includes:
- BSc in Mathematics (1989) from the Department of Mathematics, University of Athens, Greece
- MSc in Statistics (1991) from the Department of Probability and Statistics, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom
- PhD in Statistics (1994) from the Department of Probability and Statistics, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom
Professor Sapatinas has established himself as a leading researcher in several specialized areas of statistics. His primary research interests focus on Functional Data Analysis and Functional Time Series Analysis, where he has made significant contributions to methodological development and theoretical understanding. He has also conducted important work in Signal Detection and Goodness-of-Fit Checks in Ill-Positioned Inverse Problems, addressing challenging statistical problems where traditional methods fail. His research extends to Non-Parametric Regression techniques, particularly through wavelet-based approaches, and the theoretical investigation of Characteristics and Structural Properties of Probability Theoretical Distributions. Much of his work bridges theoretical statistics with practical applications, especially in signal processing and time series forecasting.
Analysis of Professor Sapatinas' publication record reveals a consistent focus on functional data analysis, wavelet methods, and inverse problems. His research trajectory shows an evolution from foundational theoretical work on probability distributions to increasingly sophisticated applications in functional time series and signal detection. A notable pattern is his extensive collaboration with researchers across Europe, particularly in Greece, France, and the UK. His work frequently appears in top-tier statistics journals including Annals of Statistics, Biometrika, and Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Over time, there's been a clear shift toward more applied problems while maintaining strong theoretical underpinnings, with recent work focusing on bootstrap methods for functional data and practical implementations in fields like power systems forecasting.
Professor Sapatinas has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Exeter (1993-1996) and the University of Bristol (1996-1998), followed by a Lecturer position at the University of Kent at Canterbury (1998-2000) before joining the University of Cyprus. His research has been supported through various academic appointments and collaborations across European institutions, though specific grant information is not detailed in the available materials. As a professor, he has likely supervised numerous graduate students, though specific names are not provided in the current information.
