About me

I started my scientific journey studying physics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Shortly after completing my M.Sc. degree in computational physics, I moved to the picturesque alpine town of Annecy, France, where I did my PhD in experimental particle physics at CERN. If you’d like to know more, you can find my PhD thesis here.
After finishing my PhD, I made the transition into data science, where I continued applying scientific reasoning to real-world problems. The topics were different, but the core mindset remained the same: Combine theory with data to make sense of complex systems and uncover hidden patterns.
Currently, I’m a Fellow Postdoctoral Researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, working with A-Lab, an autonomous laboratory for materials discovery. My work focuses on combining chemistry, data science, and automation to make sense of complex synthesis and characterization data — blending statistical reasoning, machine learning, and interactive tools. It’s an exciting space where science meets systems thinking.
I revel in the problem-solving aspect, but I don’t want to stop there: Being able to communicate my findings and their theoretical underpinnings to audiences of wildly different backgrounds has always been dear to my heart.
When I’m not sifting through bits and bytes, you’ll often find me running or cycling in the mountains. Apart from a slight obsession with challenges of all kinds, I also just love being outdoors! And then there’s painting, which is my preferred form of meditation — have a look here if you’re curious.
“To learn is a natural pleasure, not confined to philosophers, but common to all men.” Aristotle
