Hi! I am an Electrical & Computer Engineering student at the National Technical University of Athens expecting to graduate by the end of this academic year (July '26'). Currently, I am a visiting research scholar at Brown University supervised by Prof. Nikos Vasilakis. I work closely with the ATLAS group, which is part of the Systems-Computer Science department, on two different projects, one of which forms the foundation of my diploma thesis in collaboration with Prof. Georgios Goumas from my home university.

Although I am still exploring my direction, I am especially interested in operating systems, with a focus on performance and security guarantees, and love exploring ideas that lie in the intersection of hardware and software including compilers and low-level optimization techniques.

When not coding you will most probably find me running or walking around the city, taking photographs and sketching.
