I am a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro), and Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (LIDS). Before that, I was a post-doctoral associate for a bit over a year. I work with Luca Carlone (LIDS/AeroAstro).
I did my PhD at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering (2018). During the summer and fall of 2017, I was a visiting PhD student at MIT, Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS). My PhD advisors were George J. Pappas (UPenn), and Ali Jadbabaie (MIT). I was a Best Student Paper Award finalist in 2017 IEEE CDC. Before my PhD, I completed my undergraduate studies at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My undergraduate thesis advisors were Trifon Koussiouris and Evangelos Markakis.
