Dr. Evangelos E. Milios

Evangelos Milios received a diploma in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 1980 and Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, from where he graduated in 1986. While at M.I.T., he was a member of the Digital Signal Processing group and he worked on acoustic signal interpretation problems at the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory. After spending 5 years doing research on shape analysis and sensor-based mobile robotics in the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, he joined York University in 1991 as an Associate Professor. Since July of 1998 he has been with the Faculty of Computer Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he is Professor and Killam Chair of Computer Science. He served as Director of the Graduate Program (1999-2002) and he is currently Associate Dean, Research. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. He was a member of the ACM Dissertation Award committee (1990-1992), a member of the AAAI/SIGART Doctoral Consortium Committee (1997-2001) and he is co-editor-in-chief of the journal Computational Intelligence. He has published on the processing, interpretation and use of visual and range signals for landmark-based navigation and map construction in single- and multiagent robotics. His current research activity is centered on modelling and mining of content and link structure of Networked Information Spaces, applications of Machine Learning to Digital Libraries, and Social Network Mining.
