Dr Panagiotis Karras, a Lee Kuan Yew
Postdoctoral Fellow with NUS School of
Computing, has been honoured for his work in
data structures.
He won the Hong Kong Institution of Science (HKIS)
Young Scientist Award for 2008 for his PhD
dissertation titled “Data Structures and
Algorithms for Data Representation in
Constrained Environments”.
The HKIS Young Scientist Award has been
established to reward young scientists and
engineers in Hong Kong who show great promise in
their field of study.
Dr Karras had pursued his PhD studies in
Computer Science from the University of Hong
Kong, after earning an MEng in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from the National Technical
University of Athens.
He has also worked and studied at the University
of Zurich, at the Technical University of
Denmark, at the Institute of Language and Speech
Processing in Athens, at Schlumberger
Information Solutions in Oslo, at the University
of Karlsruhe, Germany, and at the University of
Patras, Greece.
Dr Karras’s research interests are in the design
and analysis of algorithms and data structures
for massive data management, data stream
algorithms, geometric and spatial data
management problems, data anonymisation, and
indexing methods for semi-structured data. |
