I received my Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1995 and my PhD in Mathematics from the Courant Institute, New York University in 2001. After a postdoc at Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik at ETH Zürich and a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge, I worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Crete. I am currently an Associate Professor at the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens.
