705G, 45 Rue des Saints-Pères, 75006 Paris, France

I am a PhD student at Université Paris Cité, advised by Professor Themis Palpanas.

My research interests lie in the area of data management, with special focus on nearest neighbor search for high-dimensional vector and data series collections.

I have obtained my MSc in computer science from EPFL in Switzerland, and my BSc in computer science from the University of Crete in Greece, where I graduated first in my class.

I have held student researcher positions at Google in the United States, the Commision of Atomic Energy (CEA) in France, DIAS EPFL lab in Switzerland (summer@epfl), and FORTH-ICS in Greece.

I am honored to have received several awards and scholarships, including undergraduate scholarships from the University of Crete, and graduate scholarships from the Latsis Foundation and the Onassis Foundation. I was also honored to participate as a young computer scientist in the 9th Heidelberg Laureate Forum.

For details, refer to my detailed CV.
