Regular biography
Iasonas Petras is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University. He earned his doctorate in computer science from Columbia University in 2013, where he also obtained a master’s in computer science. Additionally, he holds an M.Sc. in Mathematical Modeling in Modern Technologies and Economics from the National Technical University of Athens. His research interests include the algorithmic and complexity analysis of multivariate mathematical problems, with a focus on quantum algorithms for continuous mathematical and physical problems that demonstrate significant speedup compared to classical counterparts. He also investigates methods to eliminate the "curse of dimensionality," the exponential dependence of algorithmic cost on problem dimension.
