Andreas A. Malikopoulos is a professor at Cornell University, USA. He received a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Michigan. His research interests are grounded at the intersection of learning and control to enable systems to operate autonomously. His work integrates decision-theoretic foundations with learning-based methods to endow engineered systems with the capability to reason, learn, and act in real time.
