Educational Background

Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University, 1990

M.S. in Computer Science, Pennsylvania State University, 1988

M.S. in Operations Research and Environment, Pennsylvania State University, 1985

Since the spring of 2005 he is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, LA, the U.S. Before that, he had served for 11 years as an Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor in the Industrial Engineering Department at the same university. He has also served for one year as an Interim Associate Dean for the College of Engineering at LSU.

Research Interests

His research is focused on decision-making theory and applications, data mining and knowledge discovery, and the interface of operations research and computer science. Since the years he was a graduate student, he has developed new methods for data mining and knowledge discovery and has also explored some of the most fundamental and intriguing subjects in decision making. In 1999 he has received the prestigious IIE (Institute of Industrial Engineers), OR Division, Research Award for his research contributions in the above fields. In 2005 he received an LSU Distinguished Faculty Award as recognition of his research, teaching, and service accomplishments. Some of his graduate students have also received awards and distinctions including the Best Dissertation Award at LSU for Science, Engineering, and Technology for the year 2003.

He always enjoys doing research with his students from which he has learned/learning a lot. He has received teaching awards and distinctions. His research has been funded by federal and state agencies, and the private sector. He has extensively published in some of the top refereed journals and made numerous presentations at national and international conferences.

Dr. Triantaphyllou has a strong inter-disciplinary background. He has always enjoyed organizing multi-disciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners with complementary expertise. These groups try to comprehensively attack some of the most urgent problems in the sciences and engineering. He is a strong believer in the premise that the next round of major scientific and engineering discoveries will come from the work of such inter-disciplinary groups.
