Dr. Nikolaos A. Diangelakis is an Optimization Specialist at Octeract Ltd. in London, UK, a massively parallel global optimization software firm. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Texas A&M University and Texas A&M Energy Institute. He holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. on Advanced Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London and has been a member of the "Multiparametric Optimization and Control Group" since late 2011. He earned his Bachelor's degree in 2011 from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His main research interests are on the area of optimal receding horizon strategies for chemical and energy processes while simultaneously optimizing their design. For that purpose, Nikos is investigating novel solution methods for classes of non-linear, robust and multiparametric optimization programming problems. He is the main developer of the PARametric Optimization and Control (PAROC) platform and co-developer of the Parametric OPtimization (POP) toolbox. In 2016, Nikos was chosen as one of five participants in the "Distinguished Junior Re- searcher Seminars" in Northwestern University, organized by Prof. Fengqi You. In 2017, he received third place in EFCE's "Excellence Award in Recognition of Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis on CAPE." He is the coauthor of 16 peer reviewed articles, 11 conference papers, and 3 book chapters.
