Personal Life Perakis was born and raised in Greece.

Education Perakis earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Athens in 1987, received a master's degree in Applied Mathematics the following year and a PhD in 1993, both from Brown University. Thomas L. Magnanti was Perakis's graduate advisor for her research on "Geometric, interior point and classical methods for solving finite dimensional variational inequality problems."

Career After graduation, Perakis continued in the Applied Math department at Brown as a visiting assistant professor and joined MIT as a postdoctoral associate at the Operations Research Center in 1995. Perakis was appointed Assistant Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1998, Associate Professor in 2002, Professor in 2009, and has held the title of `William F.

Perakis' advisor
According to the Mathematics Genealogy Project, Perakis' advisor was Stella Constantine Dafermos. This is usually a pretty good source on advisor/student relationships. This conflicts with the information from the CV linked to this page. How do we determine which is true? Link to genealogy Rebeccah-mackinnon (talk) 17:30, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, this was a tricky one. I contacted Prof. Perakis, turns out she started her PhD with Prof. Dafermos who died in 1990. Perakis then started working with Tom Magnanti. Not sure how to source that information accurately, though I have asked for that to be fixed on Math Genealogy itself. Sams4math (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Research contributions
Is there any way to add in the knowledge of what she contributed to her field after her thesis was completed? Her CV has an extensive list of publications. Are any of them more notable than others? Rebeccah-mackinnon (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Completely in agreement with you about this one. Have been trying to read more about her research so I may summarize it, but I can possibly get started with a list of publications. Sams4math (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
