About
Spyros Reveliotis is a professor in the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.
Research
Dr. Reveliotis' research interests are in the areas of modern control theory and operations research, and the application of these theoretical frameworks in the control of flexibly automated operations. He also has an active interest in machine learning theory and its applications.
The application domains that have been addressed by Dr. Reveliotis' work include flexibly automated production systems, guidepath-based automated transport systems, networked mobile robotic and other multi-agent systems, distributed computing, and even the control of the qubit traffic in the context of quantum computing.
Teaching
Dr. Reveliotis' course offerings in ISyE are primarily within the "Industrial Engineering" part of the curriculum, addressing the design, analysis and control of the workflows supporting the operations that take place in the modern production and service sectors.
In his teaching, special emphasis is placed in the effective "bridging" of the more methodological part of the curriculum with the requirements and the practices of the targeted applications, the profundity and the systemic perspectives and elements that are required by such an endeavor, and the value that is defined by it.
