In Short

I was born in Chania, island of Crete, Greece. Moved to Patras, Greece to study at the Computer Engineering and Informatics Dept, University of Patras. I received my engineering diploma in 2004 (integrated master) with a score of 8.5/10 and continued my studies at the same department to complete a master's course in Intergrated Software / Hardware Systems. I received my M.Sc. in June 2007 with a score of 9.21/10. At the moment, I am working towards a PhD degree at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, Greece.

From October 2008 to this day, I have been part of the Microprocessor and Hardware Laboratory at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete. Besides my research towards a PhD, I have been working as a research associate and hardware engineer, engaged in multiple EU and Greek research projects. Currently, I am involved in the H2020 INTACT project, mostly with an oversight and advisory role. Other recent projects include Η2020 IntellIoT, in which I was leading the research team focusing on security aspects of Next Generation IoT systems (Trust-based IDS, AAA, Moving Target Defense system and a Trust Broker) and H2020 EDRA FET Innovation Action, in which I worked as a hardware engineer developing an FPGA accelerator for RAxML (on AWS F1 cloud instances). I also serve as the Linux systems administrator for the lab's relevant server infrastructure. I am also affiliated with Exascale Performance Systems IKE spin-off company. I work as a hardware engineer in the KDT JU REBECCA research project, leading the Integration, Validation and Evaluation workpackage of the project. Additionally, I serve as the Scientific and Technical Manager of the H2020 MEDIATE project. In the past, I have also provided research and development services to Synelixis Solutions Ltd as a senior hardware engineer, as part of the EU-funded research projects FP7-HEAP (completed March 2013), FP7-FASTER (completed January 2015), H2020-COSSIM (completed February 2018) and H2020-EXTRA (completed September 2018). In these projects, my work has revolved mostly around computer architecture and the development of hardware systems based on FPGAs to reduce energy consumption for edge systems or provide higher performance for HPC ones. I have also collaborated with the Foundation of Research and Technology / Institute of Computer Science (FORTH / ICS), focusing on research work related to security on industrial environments as part of the H2020-COLLABS research project.

Lastly, I occasionally provide consulting for network and server systems setup to small companies as well as linux and web administration services.
