Petros completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at MIT. He received the S.B. degree in Economics in 2000, the S.B. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in 2002, and the Sc.D. degree in EECS in 2006. He joined MERL in January 2009.

Between September 2006 and December 2008, he was with the Digital Signal Processing Group at Rice University doing research in the area of Compressive Sensing. Before that he was a postdoctoral associate in the MIT Digital Signal Processing Group. In addition to compressive sensing, his immediate research interests include signal processing,data representations, frame theory, and machine learning applied to signal processing. He is also looking into how compressed sensing interacts with other fields that use sensing extensively, such as mechatronics.
