Education

1976 high school degree in Athens.

1983 I graduated civil engineering studies in transportation in Politecnico di Torino on 26/7/1983 with a thesis on "Decision Processes Analysis: the case of the Susa Valley road network".

1989 I got my PhD degree in computer science and systems engineering from Politecnico di Torino defending the thesis "Formalisation and representation of the multi-criteria analysis approach by artificial intelligence techniques".

1997 I got my "Habilitation à diriger la recherche" degree from Université Paris Dauphine discussing the thesis "Sur la généralisation de concepts de concordance et discordance en aide multicritère à la décision". My jury was composed by Philippe Besnard, Ivar Ekeland, Henri Prade, Bernard Roy, Roman Slowinski and Philippe Vincke.

Professional activities

From 1990 to 1992 I hold a two years post-doctoral fellowship from Politecnico di Torino.

In 1993 I was with the ``Service Mathématique de la Gestion'', Université Libre de Bruxelles, working on non conventional preference modelling under an IRSIA research fellowship.

From 1994 to 2004, I was senior researcher and from 1/10/2004 I am research director at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) within LAMSADE, Université Paris Dauphine. For more details on my research see my Research Interests and my Papers.

I occasionally practice decision aiding for private and public organisations in fields like transportation, quality evaluation, software evaluation, vendor rating and regional planning.

Teaching experience

Since 1987 I teach Quantitative Methods in the European Business School with Technology of Politecnico di Torino. Under this position I supervised more than 50 industrial placements of students. One of these won the AMMA prize for the best report of the year (1991).

Since 1994 I teach ``Non classic logics'' (24 hours/year) in the Master ISI, ``Computer Science and Intelligent Systems'', of Université Paris Dauphine

Since 1995 I teach, together with Nicolas Maudet, ``Artificial Intelligence and Decision'' (24 hours/year) in the Master MODO, ``Management Science'', of Université Paris Dauphine.

In 2000 I teached ``Multi-criteria Decision Support Methodology'' (48 hours) at the Operations Research Master Course of the Technical University of Crete (Chania).

I occasionally gave classes for the Master degree in Public Policy Evaluation and in Transportation organised by Politecnico di Torino, the MBA programme of University of Torino and for the ESSEC Executive MBA programme. Since 2004 I also teach ``Evaluation Methods'' at the Faculty of Architecture of University of Sassari in Italy. Until today I supervised 13 PhD students.
