About Me

Hi there — not totally sure how you ended up on my website, but since you're here, welcome!!

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University in Philadelphia, where I work with Prof. Zoran Obradovic. Before that, I completed my Integrated Masters (5-year degree) in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece.

My research interest span across multiple areas of machine learning, information retrieval, and knowledge discovery, with a focus on pulling useful and practical insights out of messy, real-world data and predicting future events.

I also work on sports analytics, where I build data-driven models to better understand player and team performance. I also enjoy building pipelines to create knowledge graphs from complex (un)structured data.

Splitting time between my PhD and architecting the cool things people use. 🤓
