About
Andreas Malikopoulos is a professor in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Cornell University and the Director of the Information and Decision Science Lab. His research interests are grounded at the intersection of learning and control to enable systems—such as vehicles, robots, or large-scale infrastructures—to operate autonomously and achieve near-optimal performance while safely adapting to and interacting with dynamic environments. His work integrates decision-theoretic foundations with learning-based methods to endow engineered systems with the capability to reason, learn, and act in real time. His principal domain of application has been emerging mobility systems, including connected and automated vehicles, shared autonomous mobility, and smart-city infrastructures. Prior to his current appointments, he served as the Terri Connor Kelly and John Kelly Career Development Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Delaware and was the founding director of the Sociotechnical Systems Center. His extensive background includes fellowships at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and research roles at General Motors. Dr. Malikopoulos holds a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has received numerous awards, including the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Young Researcher Award and the University of Delaware’s College of Engineering…

articleSenior authorThis paper introduces a mobility equity metric (MEM) for evaluating fairness and accessibility in multi-modal intelligent transportation systems. The MEM simultaneously accounts for service accessibility and transportation costs across different modes of transportation and social demographics. We provide a data-driven validation of the proposed MEM to characterize the impact of various parameters in the metric across cities in the U.S. We subsequently develop a routing framework that aims to opt…
On Separation Between Learning and Control in Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes
2025-06-26
book-chapter1st authorCorrespondingCyber-physical systems (CPS) encounter a large volume of data which is added to the system gradually in real time and not altogether in advance. As the volume of data increases, the domain of the control strategies also increases, and thus it becomes challenging to search for an optimal strategy. Even if an optimal control strategy is found, implementing such strategies with increasing domains is burdensome. To derive an optimal control strategy in CPS, we typically assume an ideal model of the…
