Profile

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, University of Essex since October 2020. I was a lecturer in the same department since August 2017. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, and a stipendiary lecturer for Computer Science at Hertford College, University of Oxford. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Patras in 2014, and I hold an MSc in "Computer Science and Technology" and a (5-year) degree in "Computer Engineering and Informatics" from the same institution. During my PhD studies, I was a junior researcher at the Computer Technology Institute "Diophantus", an R&D centre with strong ties to the academia.
