    I'm a theory graduate student in the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Rajmohan Rajaraman.
    I did my undergraduate studies in the school of Computer Engineering and Informatics at University of Patras in Greece, advised by Prof. Paul Spirakis.
    I'm interested in Algorithmic Game Theory, Approximation Algorithms and Combinatorial and Linear Optimization.

    Professional Experience

    Research Interests

    I am a member of the Algorithms and Theory group at Northeastern University and my research interests lie in the largely field of Algorithms and Complexity.
    In particular, my research right now lies in the theoretical field of Algorithmic Game Theory [Equilibria Complexity in both cooperative and non-cooperative games, Applications of A.G.T. in the Networks domain, and Mechanism Design and its applications in Combinatorial Auctions and Markets].        

    Other Interests:
            - Approximation Algorithms and Complexity,
            - Combinatorial and Linear Optimization,
            - Design and Analysis of Algorithms,
            - Pseudo-randomness {mainly focused on Cryptography).
