There is funding for greek doctoral students for their first 18 months at CERN (until the end of 2015) and it might not be too late to try get one. There are 2 students who seem to be an ideal fit for us If we are interested I will follow up with Emmanuel Tsesmelis.
Georgiou, Anastasia 3
MSc France : ISIC (Informatique Synthèse d' Images et Conception Graphique) - Université de Limoges Age 32 passion for parallel computing and networks applied to computer graphics. My research directions for my PhD are related to high performance network-based computing: High Performance and Scalable MPI over modern Interconnects (InfiniBand FDR/EDR,10GigE/iWARP, RDMA over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (RoCE)) focusing on multiple novel designs (multi-core-aware, collectives, kernel-based communication, fault-tolerance, resiliency and QoS), Programming Models (PGAS and UPC), Parallel applications, High Performance Networking for TCP/Infiniband Applications and Applications-driven Performance Evaluation. Was a CERN summer student
Karapiperis, Dimitrios 4
Ph.D in Computer Science : Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage, approximation techniques, small space algorithms for massive data sets, probabilities theory application etc. Mining massive data sets at CERN in real-time and finding any similar items by applying well-known techniques (like Locality-Sensitive Hashing) or programming models (like Map-Reduce) is a valuable asset in my research work. Models from probabilities theory, database theory or randomized algorithms can be employed , so that proposed solutions on massive data sets will be efficient and accurate.
