[4] Vlachos received his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from National Technical University of Athens in 1995.
Between 2011 and 2013, he also served there as John R. Jones Faculty Fellow, and as a Robert E. Hord Professor in Mechanical Engineering Department at Virginia Tech.
[1] He is a Founder and CEO of Cordian Technologies Inc. Vlachos has published over 160 journal and 129 peer-reviewed conference papers, and has had 8 patents awarded.
He has made scientific and engineering contributions to the quantification of uncertainty in complex measurement systems, and his discoveries and innovations have led to new understanding and technologies for heart failure, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue biotransport with applications to oncology, drug delivery, and injection biomechanics, as well as discoveries on how animals and micro-organisms interact with their fluid environment.
He leads ongoing research aimed at the intersection of uncertainty quantification and data science with medical/clinical and engineering systems to tackle broader socio-technical challenges.
