Learn more about me
Hello! My name is Spiros Tsalikis (originally known as Spyridon Tsalikis). I was born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, moved to the USA in 2019, and currently living in Chapel Hill, NC, USA.
I am a Senior Research and Development Engineer at Kitware. C++/Clion are my best pals in developing high-performance and quality code, preferably, related to Geometry! I am interested in Computational Geometry, Mesh Generation, Scientific Visualization, AR/VR, Parallel Computing, Performance Optimization, Robotics and Algorithms. I earned my B.Sc. in Informatics at AUTH, my M.Sc. in Computer Science at ODU, and currently I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at UNC.
Additionally, I have a passion for playing the Cello. That's why I also earned my B.M. at the New Conservatory of Thessaloniki. I have played in many concerts with various orchestras and famous artists. Currently, I am in the process of composing my own music.
Regardless of what I do in my life, I always try to be enthusiastic and recommend creative ideas. In case of need, I can easily adapt to new circumstances. Although I am a Computer Scientist, being a team-player is my second nature, thanks to my orchestra's experiences. But above all, my hard work will always be the foundation of everything I do.
