Summary
Konstantinos Iliakis is an advanced software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in high-performance computing, parallel and distributed systems, and computer architecture. He holds an engineering diploma from NTUA and completed a PhD and subsequent postdoctoral work affiliated with CERN focused on scaling scientific simulators and efficient use of multi-/many-core and GPGPU resources. His industry work includes building scalable, resilient workload management and scheduler components at Altair and now Siemens, enabling operation across thousands of nodes and millions of cores. Konstantinos blends deep research experience—designing a novel MapReduce runtime and optimizing the BLonD beam dynamics simulator—with hands-on C++ and parallelization skills (OpenMP, MPI, CUDA), and he prototypes hardware-interfacing projects with Arduino/Raspberry Pi in his spare time. An unusually practical researcher-engineer, he routinely translates algorithmic advances into production-grade, scalable software for large HPC deployments.
