About
Stavros Sintos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago. Before joining UIC, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar on Data Management at the University of Chicago working with Asst. Prof. Sanjay Krishnan and Prof. Michael Franklin. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Duke University under the supervision of Prof. Pankaj K. Agarwal. He also obtained his B.S. in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Ioannina in Greece. He is a recipient of the James B. Duke Fellowship, and he was nominated for the 2019-2020 outstanding Ph.D. dissertation award for his thesis titled “Efficient Algorithms for Querying Large and Uncertain Data”. His main research interest is in the design of efficient algorithms for problems in databases, data mining, and data management. In particular, he works on designing practical geometric indexes with theoretical guarantees focusing on approximate query processing, top-k queries, summarization queries, and join queries. His work has been published in top-tier conferences and journals such as VLDB, SIGMOD, ICDE, PODS, ICALP, JCSS. For more details, please visit stavrossintos.info
