Maria Vlasiou is a Full Professor at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, an Associate Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a Research Fellow of the European research institute EURANDOM, and the current chair of the Dutch women in mathematics network. 

Her research centres on the performance of stochastic processing networks with layered architectures, focusing on energy networks, high-tech manufacturing, and stochastic performance analysis. Other interests include Lévy processes, perturbation analysis for heavy-tailed risk models, large deviations for non-monotone stochastic recursions, and proportional fairness in heavy traffic for bandwidth-sharing networks. She has supervised six PhD theses on these topics.

Prof. Vlasiou is associate editor in two journals and has refereed for about 45 international journals, conferences, and national science foundations. Her research has been funded by grants exceeding 4.5M from more than 10 science foundations, universities, societies, and organisations. She is the co-author of more than 45 refereed papers, the co-recipient of the best paper award in ICORES 2013, the Marcel Neuts student paper award in MAM8, and of the 3^rd prize of the 8th conference in Actuarial Science.
