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, where he leads the Algorithms and Data Structures for Sequence Analysis subgroup. In 2020, he joined the Faculty of Science, Bioinformatics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as (part-time) Associate Professor.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 strings and trees for pattern matching, indexing, comparison, and finding regularities. Applications thereof he is interested in include bioinformatics, data mining, data compression, and information retrieval. For more details, see the subgroup's webpage.
