Biography
Dramatically transforming media delivery, Chrysostomos L. (Max) Nikias blended cinematic arts and engineering to develop an integrated media approach. Establishing the University of Southern California’s (USC) Integrated Media Systems Center, Dr. Nikias brought experts in the cinematic, performing and musical arts together with leaders in computer science and engineering to develop new tools for creating entertainment media. Dr. Nikias, currently provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at USC, has spent most of his 26-year career in academics. He established new academic programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and instituted a community-outreach education program that trains at-risk youths in the Los Angeles area and places them in the entertainment industry. Dr. Nikias has served as a consultant to the U.S. government, holding a high-level security clearance for 15 years. His signal processing patents have been adopted by the U.S. Navy in sonar, radar, and mobile communication systems.
