I hold a 4-year diploma in Computer Science and 2-year Master of Science in Statistical Science both from Athens University of Economics and Business and I am currently a final year PhD student at the University of Cambridge, MRC-Biostatistics Unit supervised by Professor Sylvia Richardson. My thesis is focused on probabilistic machine learning and, more precisely, towards using generative modelling in healthcare.

Since the spring semester of 2020 I have also been a visiting researcher at Professor Costis Daskalakis' group at CSAIL, MIT after being granted the 2020 Trinity College, University of Cambridge award in Mathematics.

In parallel, from April till October 2022 I will be working with Professor Carola Schönlieb , on a proposal of mine that was accepted by CMIH , DAMTP , University of Cambridge.

Prior to pursuing a PhD, I was a research associate (2014-2016) at two EU funded research projects at Athens University of Economics and Business and Technical University of Crete. The aim of my research during these projects, was causal inference through the lens of Information Theory and Bayesian theory and methodology with application to economics and computational biology.

The focus of my MSc thesis was on "Context Tree Weighting for Signal Processing, Bayesian Inference and Model Selection: Theory and Algorithms", a topic that lies at the intersection of Information theory and Bayesian statistics, under the insightful supervision of Professor Petros Dellaportas. I was. very honoured to have the extension of my MSc thesis "Bayesian context trees: Modelling and exact inference for discrete time series" being accepted and published by the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B (methodology)

During my undergraduate studies, I was delighted to explore the essentials of theoretical computer science namely algorithmic complexity, logic, computability, algorithmic game theory and information theory.

My fields of interest lie in the underpinnings, theory and methodology of machine intelligence, Bayesian inference, theoretical computer science and information theory.

November 2022 onwards I will be joining The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to work with an extraordinary set of Researchers, namely Professor Constantinos Daskalakis, Professor Caroline Uhler and Doctor Anthony Phillipakis
