Paris Koutris is an Associate Professor in Computer Sciences. He completed his Ph.D. in 2015 at the University of Washington (the other UW), advised by Dan Suciu. His research lies at the intersection of data management theory and practice. He has contributed to data processing for massively parallel systems, data markets, efficient data structures and the management of uncertain data. He has won the SIGMOD Jim Gray Dissertation Award for his work on the foundations of parallel data processing.
A word from Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, Grace Wahba Professor and Chair of Computer Sciences:
Paris’s research is in data management, focusing upon parallel data processing, optimizing data-processing pipelines, and managing uncertain data; ten of his papers have been recognized as “best-in-conference.” Paris is an excellent instructor, teaching both undergraduate and graduate database courses. It’s our great pleasure to have him in the CS department.
