Vassilios V. Dimakopoulos

Vassilios V. Dimakopoulos is a Professor of Parallel Processing at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Ioannina, Greece. He has been affiliated with the university since 1998, initially as an adjunct professor and later as a regular faculty member. Currently, he serves as the Dean of the School of Engineering and Chairman of the Technical Council of the University of Ioannina. His academic journey includes a Diploma in Computer Engineering from the University of Patras (1990), and M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Victoria, Canada (1992 and 1996, respectively).

His research focuses on parallel and distributed systems, parallel programming models, systems software, computer architecture, embedded systems, and performance analysis. He has held administrative roles such as Deputy Chairman of the Department (2014–2017) and Director of Graduate Studies (2016–2020). His contributions include pioneering work on OpenMP runtime systems, adaptive scheduling for embedded multicore architectures, and probabilistic search protocols in dynamic networks.

Dimakopoulos is a member of the IEEE and the Technical Chamber of Greece. His work emphasizes bridging compiler design, runtime systems, and hardware constraints to optimize parallel computing efficiency. Recent research trends include hybrid OpenMP-MPI offloading strategies, adaptive task scheduling in heterogeneous environments, and fog computing cost modeling.

His administrative leadership spans multiple institutional committees, reflecting his dual role as an academic leader and researcher. His research group collaborates on projects involving high-performance numerical optimization, task-based global optimization for protein folding, and embedded systems integration.
