I am on the 2021/2022 academic job market.
I am a Postdoc in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington where I work with Prof. Siddhartha Srinivasa in the Personal Robotics Lab.
I received a Ph.D. from Cornell University, advised by Prof. Ross A. Knepper, and a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens, advised by Prof. Kostas J. Kyriakopoulos.
My interests lie at the intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and artificial intelligence. My goal is to enable safe and comfortable deployment of robotic autonomy in human environments by leveraging and enhancing existing mathematical tools and data-driven techniques, and by understanding end users better. Towards this goal, I have been working on robot navigation in crowds, multiagent navigation, and robotic manipulation. I frequently employ tools from motion planning, machine learning, and algebraic topology.
Here is my CV.
