Fatos is native from Albania (Spanish citizen) where he was graduated in Mathematics from the Faculty of Natural Sciencies (FNS), University of Tirana (UT), Albania, in 1988. During 1989-1993 he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the FNS, UT, Albania.
Fatos joined the Techical University of Catalonia as a Visiting Professor at the Applied Mathematics Department I, and later he entered the Department of Languages and Informatic Systems (LSI) as a PhD student and in 1996 as an Assistant Professor. Fatos got his PhD in Computer Science from the Department of LSI in 1998.
Currently,
Fatos is Associate Professor (Professor Titular)
at the
Department of Languages and Informatic Systems and member of the ALBCOM Research
Group. His current research
interest
include parallel and distributed algorithms, combinatorial
optimization, approximation and meta-heuristics,
networking systems, distributed programming, Grid and P2P computing. His
research is supported by Research Projects from Spain, EU and NSF/USA.
Fatos is awarded research merits for the period 1996-2007 (dos
sexenios) and for the period 2001-2006 (sexeni compl.
autonòmic.) and teaching merits for the period 1995-2005
