Petri Myllymäki obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science at University of Helsinki, where he became a Docent in computer science in 1999. Dr. Myllymäki is one of the co-founders of the Complex Systems Computation (CoSCo) research group, and he has 20 years of experience in research in the area of intelligent systems. His current special research interests are focused in Bayesian and information-theoretic modeling, in particular with Bayesian networks and other probabilistic models. He has been an editorial board member, program committee member and reviewer for numerous international scientific journals, conferences and organizations, and he has published over 100 scientific articles in his research area. He is co-founder of Ekahau Inc. and has also been responsible for several applied research projects with other companies including BayesIT, M-Brain, Nokia, Elisa, Kone, StoraEnso, Space Systems Finland/European Space Agency, ABB and AlmaMedia, and the industrial co-operation has lead to a number of fielded applications and patents. Dr. Myllymäki is currently working as a professor at the Department of Computer Science of University of Helsinki, and also as a programme director at HIIT, a joint research institute of University of Helsinki and Helsinki University of Technology.
