About

Nikos Sidiropoulos received the Diploma in electrical engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, MD, USA, in 1988, 1990, and 1992, respectively. He is the Louis T. Rader Professor in the Department of ECE, University of Virginia. He has previously served on the faculty of the University of Minnesota and the Technical University of Crete, Greece. His research interests are in signal processing, communications, optimization, tensor decomposition, and machine learning. He received the NSF/CAREER award in 1998, the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Best Paper Award in 2001, 2007, 2011, 2022, and the IEEE SPS Donald G. Fink Overview Paper Award in 2022. He received the 2010 IEEE SPS Meritorious Service Award, the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award of the ECE Department of University of Maryland, the 2022 EURASIP Technical Achievement Award, the 2022 IEEE SPS Claude Shannon–Harry Nyquist Technical Achievement Award, and the 2023 Distinguished Research Award from the University of Virginia. He is a Fellow of IEEE (2009) and a Fellow of EURASIP (2014).
