Greek-American computer scientist
Theodosios Pavlidis (Greek : Θεοδόσιος Παυλίδης ; born September 8, 1934, in Thessaloniki ) is a computer scientist and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the State University of New York, Stony Brook .[ 1]
Education
Pavlidis studied at the National Technical University of Athens , where in 1957 he received his Diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering degree. He continued to study at the University of California, Berkeley , where he received his MS in Electrical Engineering in 1962 and his PhD in Electrical Engineering in 1964.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Career
Pavlidis taught at Princeton University , starting as an assistant professor in 1964, promoted to associate professor in 1968[ 5] and full professor in 1975.[ 6] In 1980, he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey , as a Member of Technical Staff.[ 7] While at Bell Labs, in 1982, he was appointed Senior Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI)[ 8] and held that position through 1986. Pavlidis resumed teaching in 1986, first as a Leading Professor, and then as a distinguished professor in 1995, becoming emeritus in 2001.[ 1] [ 4]
Pavlidis conducted fundamental research in several computer software technology areas, including pattern recognition , image analysis , picture editing , OCR , computer vision , and barcodes . He contributed to the PDF417 two-dimensional barcode ISO standard, allowing for the barcode itself to have very high information density and error correction.[ 4] [ 9] His work in computer vision resulted in an algorithm that could scan barcodes that are poorly printed or defaced/dirty.[ 10] [ 11]
Pavlidis has published several books, and numerous articles and papers in leading engineering journals and conference proceedings.[ 12] [ 13] He is also a named inventor on 15 U.S. issued patents.[ 14]
