Dr. Titsa Papantoni

Dr Titsa Papantoni-Kazakos was born in Greece. She is a U.S. naturalized citizen, since 1980. She received the Diploma in Electrical, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 1968; the M.S, degree from Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, in 1970; and the Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, in 1973, both in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Statistical Communications and with minor in Mathematics.

From 1973 to 1978 she was faculty in Electrical Engineering at Rice University, Houston, TX. From September 1978 to August 1986 she was faculty in Electrical Engineering at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, with the final rank of professor. In September 1986, she joined the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, where she was professor of Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, until December 1994. From September 1993 to August 1994, she was the holder of the NSERC/OCRI Industrial Research Chair in High-Speed Networks at the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada, on leave from the University of Virginia. From January 1995 to August 2000 she held the "Larry" Drummond Chair in Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL. Since August 2000 she has been Chair and then Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado, Denver, CO. In 1977, she spent one year with Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ, on leave from ice University. In 1981, she spent one year on special assignment as a Scientific Officer and Contract Monitor at the U.S. Office of Naval Research, Arlington, VA, on leave from the University of Connecticut.

Her research interests include Statistical Decision Theory, Distributed Processing and Neural Network Structures, Statistical-Communications, Information Theory, Robust Statistical and Encoding Methods, Stochastic Processes and Computer-Communication Networks. She is coeditor and contributor to the book: Nonparametric Methods in Communications (New York, Marcel Dekker, 1977). She is also coauthor of the book: Detection and Estimation (Computer Science Press, 1989). In addition to these books, she has published over 200 refereed technical papers.

Dr. Papantoni is a Fellow of IEEE; for "Contributions to Communication Networks and to Detection and Estimation Theory", a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Eta kappa Nu, Sigma Xi, the Society of Women in Science and the Society of Women in Engineering. She has served as the Secretary to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Group, she has been Editor for Random Access Systems of the IEEE Communications transactions and has been member of the U.S. Army Basic Research Committee of the National Research Council. She has also been a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Wireless Networks, as well as the IEEE COMSOC technical committees on Communication Theory and Computer Communications.
