Bio
Dr. Magdalini Eirinaki is a Professor at the Computer Engineering Department of the College of Engineering at SJSU. She also serves as the academic coordinator of the MS in Artificial Intelligence program. Her research interests span a broad range of machine learning, recommender systems, deep learning applications, social graph mining, and generative AI. She has published several papers in refereed journals and international conference proceedings in the above areas (links to selected publications are included below).
Prof. Eirinaki is an external member of the Board of Administration of Harokopio University. She also serves on the steering committee of the Silicon Valley Women in Engineering conference series and is a guest editor of FGCS's special issue on Big Data Computing Service and Machine Learning Applications. She is also serving in multiple senior roles in journals and conference in her research area.
Prof. Eirinaki is the recipient of the 2019 Newnan Brothers Award for Faculty Excellence, the 2017 Applied Materials Award for Excellence in Teaching and received the SJSU distinguished faculty mentor award in 2015, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023.
Her research is funded by NSF, CAHSI/Google, CA Learning Lab, EU Horizon (Marie Slodowska-Curie Actions), and IBM.
