Christos (Christoforos) Kozyrakis (Χρίστος (Χριστόφορος) Κοζυράκης; born 1974[1]) is a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, where he leads the multi-scale architecture & systems team (MAST). His current research interests are on resource efficient cloud computing,[2] energy efficient compute and memory systems, and architectural support for security. Kozyrakis was the 2015 ACM Maurice Wilkes Award for outstanding contributions to transactional memory systems.[3]
Kozyrakis holds a Ph.D. degree from UC Berkeley (advised by David A. Patterson) and a B.Sc. from University of Crete. He is an IEEE fellow[4] and an ACM fellow.[5]
