Short CV

 

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus. Also, I am member of the Network oriented systems & services lab and the DataStories research group.

 

I obtained my degree in Informatics from University of Piraeus in 1997 and my M.Sc. and PhD degrees from Athens University of Economics & Business (AUEB) in 1999 and 2003, respectively.

I have conducted research in AUEB and CERTH (Centre for Research & Technology, Hellas) participating in several National and European-funded projects and in University of California at Riverside as a Marie-Curie fellow funded by EU.

My research interests include Machine Learning and Data Mining Techniques, Recommender Systems, Social Network Analysis, Big Data Analytics, Data Mining in Distributed environments.

I have participated in many program committees of international conferences in the areas of Data Mining and Machine Learning.
