MIT Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

Manolis Kamvysselis awarded Kanellakis Fellowship at MIT

May 28, 1999

The Department is pleased to announce that Mr. Manolis Kamvysselis has been chosen to receive the first Paris Kanellakis Fellowship at MIT. Mr. Kamvysselis came to MIT as a freshman in 1995, expects to complete his Master of Engineering Degree in June, 1999, and plans to continue in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory working on his PhD.

The Kanellakis Fellowship was established at MIT by General and Mrs. Eleftherios Kanellakis in memory of their son Paris who received his PhD from EECS in 1982 and died unexpectedly and tragically in 1995. The family has established two similar fellowships at Brown University where Paris was a member of the computer science faculty. Brown University has established a web page in recognition of these Fellowships: http://www.cs.brown.edu/grad/pck_fellowship.html.
