Biography
Solon Pissis read Computer Science at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the University of Athens (2003-2007) before completing his M.Sc in High-Performance Computing at the University of Edinburgh (2007-2008). He obtained his Ph.D in Computer Science from King's College London (2008-2012). He also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice in Higher Education from King's College London (2015-2016). He was a Research Associate in the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida and a Visiting Scientist in the Scientific Computing group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (2012-2013). He was appointed Lecturer (2013) and then Senior Lecturer (2018) in Computer Science in the Department of Informatics at King's College London. In 2019 he joined the Life Sciences and Health research group at CWI.Research
His area of research within computer science is algorithms and data structures. Research topics he is interested in include algorithms and data structures on sequences and trees for pattern matching, indexing, comparison, and finding regularities.
