Professor Christos Kitsos received his first degree in Mathematics from the University of Athens, Greece (1973), his Master’s in Mathematics & Statistics from the University of New Brunswick, Canada (1978), and his Ph D in Statistics from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK (1986). His research interests are in Optimal Experimental Design (mainly on Non-Linear), Industrial Statistics, Risk Assessment (in Cancer Bioassays, Environmental etc) and in Information Measures. He has participated in various research Programs in Greece, either as a project leader or researcher. He is also active in the European programs ERASMUS and sometime ago to TEMPUS, visiting and lecturing at a number of European and Greek Universities (U. of Patras, U. of Athens, Athens U. of Economics, and the U. of Thessally). Professor Kitsos is currently lecturing as a Professor of Statistics at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens. He has published 115 papers in journals and in proceedings volumes and 78 for conferences. As a head of local organizing committees, he has worked for major international conferences such as MODA, ICRA etc. He has published 8 university-level books on Statistics and Mathematics in Greek; in English he is the co- editor, among other editions, of 3 editions on Industrial Statistics, Model Oriented Data Analysis and Qualitative Methods on Cancer and has published two monographs concerning the Calibration Problem and the Cancer Bioassays. Currently, Professor Kitsos is a member of both the ISI proper and its Committee of Risk Assessment; of the IASC (International Association of Statistical Computing) where he served as a council member from 1998-2001) and a council member of the Greek Statistical Institute. He also served as the Head of the Department of Mathematics (2005-2010) and the Head of the Liaison Office (2004-2008) at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens.
