Hello and welcome to my homepage. I am an Assistant Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the Department of Informatics and Telematics, at the Harokopio University of Athens, Greece, where I teach courses related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as computer programming. I hold a BSc and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
My research focuses on the development of novel machine learning algorithms and their applications in healthcare. My recent research interests include the development of methods for the measurement and modeling of human behavior for health applications, the development of machine learning algorithms that generalize across domains (Domain Generalization) and the use of machine learning for causal effect estimation from observational data.
I have published several papers in international research journals and conferences in topics related to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and their applications, while I have over 15 years of experience participating in national and international research projects. I am currently the PI for the EU-funded projects REBECCA and RELEVIUM.
