Biography
Born and raised in Detroit, Lazaros Kikas attended Notre Dame High School and studied Electrical Engineering at University of 91³Ô¹Ï×ÄÐÈ˵ijԹÏÍø. Excited about mathematics and mathematical thinking, I switched subjects and studied Mathematics. My interest in mathematics was using mathematical ideas to understand problems of computer science and engineering.
In graduate school, I studied primarily Discrete Mathematics. I think of discrete mathematics as the mathematics that can be used to study computer science problems and computer science algorithms. I have been at 91³Ô¹Ï×ÄÐÈ˵ijԹÏÍø since 2003. I first taught at 91³Ô¹Ï×ÄÐÈ˵ijԹÏÍø as a graduate student in 1991. I am now the chair of the department of Mathematics.
