Nikos Chrisochoides is Full Professor and John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in Medicine and Health.

His research interests are in medical image computing and parallel and distributed scientific computing. Specifically, parallel mesh generation both theoretical and implementation aspects. His research is application-driven. Currently he is working on real-time mesh generation for biomedical applications like non-rigid registration for Image Guided Neurosurgery.

Chrisochoides received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from Aristotle University, Greece and his M.Sc. (in Mathematics) and Ph.D. (in Computer Science) degrees from Purdue University. Then he moved to Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University as the Alex Nason Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Sciences. After NPAC he worked in the Advanced Computing Research Institute, at Cornell University. He joined (as an Assistant Professor in January 1997) the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. In the Fall of 2000, he moved to the College of William and Mary as an Associate Professor and in 2004 he was awarded the Alumni Memorial Distinghuised Professorship. Chrisochoides has more than 120 technical pulications in parallel scientific computing.

He has held visting positions at Harvard Medical School (Spring 2005), MIT (Spring 2005), Brown (Fall 2004) and NASA/Langley (Summer 1994).
