Nikolaos M. Missirlis is a Professor at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) since 1995. He earned his BSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of Ioannina, Greece in 1974 and his PhD in Numerical Analysis from Loughborough University of Technology, UK in 1978. He has held visiting positions at Rutgers University (1986-1987), Cyprus University (2006-2008), and SUNY Stony Brook (2013). His research focuses on Scientific Computing , particularly parallel solution of Partial Differential Equations and load balancing algorithms. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with high-performance computing applications in meteorology and fluid dynamics. His publications demonstrate consistent output in parallel algorithms and numerical methods, with recent work emphasizing GPU acceleration and diffusion-based load balancing techniques. Research trends show evolution from foundational iterative methods to applications in heterogeneous computing environments. Teaching activities include undergraduate courses: Numerical Analysis Numerical Linear Algebra Algorithms and Complexity Introduction to Programming Data Structures Graduate courses: Scientific Computing (Numerical Solution of PDEs) Parallel Algorithms He has advised five PhD students and led major projects including: PYTHAGORAS (Distributed iterative methods for weather prediction) SKIRON (Parallelization of Eta model for Hellenic Meteorology Service) Princeton Ocean Model parallelization Contact: nmis@di.uoa.gr | +30 210 7275103 | Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, NKUA, Panepistimiopolis 157 84, Athens, Greece.
