Welcome to the web site of Euclid, the Algorithms and Privacy Research Unit!

The Research Unit belongs to the Programming and Data Processing Lab (a.k.a. Internetworked Systems Lab) of the Democritus University of Thrace.

Mission Statement

The design and analysis of Algorithms is a fundamental part of Computer Science, essential both for its theoretical foundations and real-world applications. “Euclid”, the Algorithms and Privacy Research Unit, focuses on algorithmic challenges in contemporary and emerging domains of Computer Science. In addition to classical topics in Algorithms, the Research Unit actively explores areas such as Social Network Analysis, Privacy-Enhanced Technologies, Federated Machine Learning, and Blockchain Technologies. A core aspect of our mission is to advance Responsible AI—developing privacy-enhanced, sustainable, and explainable AI systems that prioritize ethical and human-centered design principles.

Main Research Topics

Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Randomized Algorithms, Social Network Analysis, Opinion Dynamics, Algorithmic Aspects of Privacy, Federated Machine Learning, Blockchain Technologies.
