Vassos Soteriou
xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx
On Saturday September 26th, 2020 our very dear colleague and friend Vassos Soteriou passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. He was only 44, and leaves behind his beloved wife Drazena and his newborn baby boy Alexandros. Vassos is remembered by many people as an exceptional and unique human being, with a truly kind soul of the highest integrity and values. One could realize how special Vassos was only after a short discussion with him. A truly rare and real individual. He was at the top of intellectual thinking; a visionary who constantly pursued progress and excellence both academically and in all aspects of life; a bright and talented academic teacher and mentor; an exceptional scientist in love and passionate with research and science of the highest standards; a stimulating colleague; a truly great friend. Vassos’ passing is inconceivable. We hope that this side of Remembrances & Condolences will allow his friends, colleagues and students share their tributes, and help them celebrate and honor him. Vassos was an Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Informatics at the Cyprus University of Technology. He was a leading expert in the field of computer architecture, where he had made a number of profound contributions that will remain forever influential in the passage of time. He received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Rice University, Houston, Texas, in 2001, and Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, in 2006. His legacy will carry on with all the people he has influenced; friends, colleagues, students, researchers; his wife; his son. Please consider donating in Vassos' memory here. The proceeds will be directly given to his wife Drazena: https://gogetfunding.com/in-memory-of-professor-vassos-soteriou/

I know it's quite some time since Vassos passed away, but I think it feels like only recently and he's still very much in our thoughts. I remember him with great fondness and indeed, he was a really lovely person and as everyone says here, very kind and thoughtful. He is greatly missed. I also think of Drazena and little Alexander and how they are coping without him. They in are my prayers and I hope the memories of Vassos help to keep them strong xx

This is very shocking news. I remember you from NOCS-2019, where I met you. Prof. Tushar introduced me to you as the first student of Prof. Li-Shiuan. I greatly enjoyed our conversation at the conference and admired your humble nature. You were a great person. May you rest in peace.

You were telling us for years and we didn't believe it. "It is the V-man talking". So many memories 20 years now, so many laughs, dreams, trips, ups, and downs. "Geia sou Master, ola kala?". So long my friend, you will be missed dearly, keep a seat for the old crew.
