I am a PhD candidate at IMSI, Athena Research Center and National Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). I hold a BSc in Informatics from NKUA and an MSc in Data Science from Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB). My research interests primarily focus on Similarity Search and Entity Resolution. During my PhD I have published research papers in high-esteemed conferences (VLDB) and have worked in EU-funded projects (SmartDataLake, STELAR).
In my spare time, I am passionate about folk dances and improvisation theater.
