About Me

I'm a 3rd-year CS PhD student at University of Southern California (USC) and a member of the Signal Analysis and Interpretation Lab (SAIL), where I am advised by Professor Shrikanth Narayanan. I'm also affiliated with the USC Theory Group, where I spent my first two years. Before joining USC, I completed my undergraduate studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens. During my studies in Greece, I was advised by Dimitris Fotakis. I was also affiliated with Archimedes AI, where I interned in the Spring of 2024.
My research lies in the intersection of theoretical and applied machine learning, with a focus on Trustworthy ML
