I am broadly interested in attention-based models and have also researched various topics in ML Safety such as uncertainty estimation for closed-source models and deep ensembles.

Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes 🇫🇷, where I collaborated with Julyan Arbel and Emtiyaz Khan (🇯🇵). In 2020, I completed my Ph.D. at EPFL🇨🇭, which I obtained under the supervision of professor Pierre Vandergheynst. I completed my MSc. and BSc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 🇬🇷.

I’m very passionate about transparent governance and enjoy analysing various topics on political polling and psephology on kassiope.org (in Greek).
