Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London developing Generative Foundation Models for Biosignals used in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). I have been awarded the Fellowship Advance Higher Education (FHEA). I am a Member of European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) and a Registered Engineer in Greece (TEE).

PhD Graduate in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) from the Department of Computing, Imperial College London, where I conducted my research under the supervision of Prof. Stefanos Zafeiriou. My doctoral research, titled “Enhancing Motor-Imagery Brain-Computer Interfaces Through Deep Learning,” explored intersections between Deep Learning and Brain-Computer Interfaces, including Differentiable Signal Processing, Geometric Deep Learning and Causality. I passed my PhD defence with no corrections and my work has been published in top-tier AI venues.

Since 2021, I have been working as a Machine Learning Engineer at Cogitat, where I develop innovative deep learning methods for EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). Our groundbreaking technology has been featured by outlets such as the British Computing Society, Sky News, BBC, The Times, Telegraph, New Statesman, Sifted, and Business Insider. I have also participated in releasing interactive demos showcasing this technology.

In addition to my research, I have actively contributed to the academic community. During my PhD, I served as a PhD Student Academic Representative for the Department of Computing (Imperial College London), co-organized the London Geometry and Machine Learning (LOGML) Summer School, led the Imperial Computing Conference (ICC) and participated in the Equity, Diversity, and Culture Committee (EDCC) at Imperial College London. I have also been involved as a Lakera AI Student Momentum Ambassador and Microsoft Student Ambassador. Furthermore, I have been a reviewer for many prestigious AI journals and conferences.

My past working experience includes in short: Facesoft (Machine Leaarning / Software Engineering Intern), Daedalean AI (Machine Learning Thesis Project), Smart Power Networks (Data Scientist) and The Mouse Team (Founder - Android Developer).

Prior to my PhD, I completed a Master of Engineering (MEng) at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Imperial College London and spent my final year at ETH Zürich, conducting my Master’s thesis at Data Analytics Lab under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Hofmann.

Before Imperial, during my gap year, I attended the bachelor’s programme at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens and the Engineering Preparation programme at Oxford Royale Academy (University of Oxford - St. Catherine’s College). As a high school student, I was a national champion and a member of the Greek National Karate team.
