Demosthenis Teneketzis (Greek: Δημοσθένης Τενεκετζής) IEEE is a Greek-American electrical engineer specializing in Systems Science and Engineering. He is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His works are in the fields of control, decentralized systems, and networks. His main research publications are in stochastic control (centralized and decentralized), scheduling and resource allocation in networks with strategic and non-strategic users, and fault diagnosis in discrete event systems. He is a Fellow of IEEE.

Early Life and Education
Demosthenis Teneketzis was born in Drama, Greece. He received the Diploma in electrical engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, in 1974. He then moved to the United States and received the M.S, E.E, and Ph.D. degrees, all in electrical engineering, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1976, 1977 and 1979, respectively. His works are inspired by Dr. Hans Witsenhausen.

Career
From September 1984 until August 2019 he was Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He retired in September 2019 and is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan. In Winter and Spring 1992 he was visiting Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to joining the University of Michigan he worked for Systems Control Inc., Palo Alto, CA, (August 1979-October 1980), and Alphatech Inc, Burlington, MA, (November 1980-August 1984). At Alphatech he collaborated extensively with Professor Pravin Varaiya who has been an inspiration in research.

Teaching
He has taught courses in systems, stochastic control, probability and stochastic processes, networks, information theory, game theory, and mechanism design. In 2007 he received the Rackham Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award from the University of Michigan.

Research
Demosthenis Teneketzis’ research is on Stochastic Control, Decentralized Decision-Making with non-strategic decision-makers (teams) or strategic decision-makers (games), resource allocation in networks with centralized or decentralized information and strategic or non-strategic agents, and fault diagnosis in discrete event systems. In 2015 he received the George S. Axelby Award from the IEEE Control Systems Society for his paper "Decentralized Stochastic Control with Partial History Sharing: A Common Information Approach".
