Adjunct Faculty
Dr. Charalampos Tsourakakis received his Ph.D. from the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) program at Carnegie Mellon University, and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Harvard University. He holds a Diploma in Electrical and Diploma Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and a Master of Science from the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University. Before joining Boston University, he worked as a researcher in the Google Brain team.
He won a best paper award in IEEE Data Mining, has delivered three tutorials in the ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, and has designed two graph mining libraries for large-scale graph mining, one of which has been officially included in Windows Azure. His research focuses on large-scale graph mining, and machine learning.
