Eleftherios Vlahakis

Associate Senior Lecturer

Organization

Staff member at Division of Computer engineering and computer science.

Research area

Conducts research in natrural sciences, computer and information sciences.

Research interest

My research lies at the intersection of control and computer science. I develop methods for safe, reliable, and resource-efficient autonomous systems, with a focus on multi-agent systems, multi-robot systems, and distributed computing systems. My work combines distributed control, optimization algorithms, scheduling and resource allocation, temporal logics, formal methods, stochastic systems, and data-driven decision making.

External assignments

Reviewer for leading journals and conferences in control, autonomous systems, hybrid systems, and cyber-physical systems, including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica, IEEE Control Systems Letters, IEEE CDC, ACC, HSCC, IFAC World Congress, and L4DC.

Chair/organiser of invited and regular sessions at major annual international control conferences (IEEE CDC, ACC).

Contributor to international research projects and proposals, including SymAware and DRUID-NET.

Research visitor at ICTEAM, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium (2022).

Visiting scholar at Queen’s University Belfast, UK (2023-2026).

Teaching/supervision

I teach artificial intelligence, machine learning, programming, mathematics, optimization, and control. At University West, I teach AI and Machine Learning and supervise student projects. I have previously taught and supervised students at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Queen’s University Belfast, and City, University of London, including MSc thesis supervision and mentoring of doctoral researchers.
