Nikos Vasilakis is on the faculty of the Computer Science department at Brown University. His research encompasses parallel and distributed systems, programming languages, and computer security — with recent focus on program analysis, transformation, and synthesis for automated enhancement, acceleration, generation, compartmentalization, and regeneration of computer programs or program fragments. Professor Vasilakis has also conducted research, published, and lectured on automated parallelization and distribution, decentralized computation and storage, and software supply-chain security.
In addition to his academic activities, Professor Vasilakis has significant industrial experience. His research has found applications outside academia — both as the core behind software supply-chain security technologies and in large-scale open-source software ecosystems.
Before joining Brown University, Professor Vasilakis was a research scientist at MIT. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania. More information can be found on his website: https://nikos.vasilak.is.
