Stelios Bekiros graduated with an MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He holds an MSc in Decision Sciences and a PhD in Econometrics from Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Finance (DAF). He was employed as a research fellow at the European Institute for Statistics, Probability, Stochastic Operations Research and its Applications (EURANDOM), Technical University of Eindhoven and at the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics and Finance (CeNDEF), University of Amsterdam. He has also worked in other research positions in the academia and as an engineering & financial expert consultant in the public and private sector.
 
In 2008, he was awarded the Max Weber Fellowship at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence (Mentor: Prof. M. Marcellino). The Max Weber Programme is the largest postdoctoral programme in the social sciences in the world, hosted by the EUI and funded by the European Commission (DG Education). Dr Bekiros joined the EUI with the aim of further enhancing his research skills in an international multidisciplinary environment.

Stelios Bekiros has participated in many national and European research projects (NWO, EU 3rd Framework Programme, EIB, EC DG-XIII/ESPRIT, EPET-II/Hellenic Ministry of Development, Cyprus RPF/Penek etc.). His research interests include spectral and time series econometrics, economic dynamics, artificial & computational intelligence, optimal control, complex systems and econophysics. His work has been published in many journals including Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Journal of Forecasting, European Journal of Operational Research, Journal of Macroeconomics, Energy Economics, Economics Letters  etc.

Dr. Bekiros strongly emphasizes multidisciplinary research through applying techniques and methodologies from economic theory, physics, engineering, biology and psychology, in studying the complexity of economic and financial systems on a macro/microscopic level.
