Short.CV
I was born in Athens, Greece in 1978. I graduated from high school in June 1996 and received the BSc degree in computer science from the Computer Science Department, University of Crete in October 2000. In November 2002 I received the MSc degree in computer engineering from the Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, and in July 2006 I received the PhD degree from the same institute under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Manolis Koubarakis.
In September 2006 I joined the Databases and Information Systems
Department at Max-Planck Institute for Informatics (MPII) as a post-doctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Weikum. From January 2007 until August 2008 I was leading the P2P and Information Management research area
within the Databases and Information Systems Department of MPII. Since March 2009 I am a Lecturer at the Department of
Computer Science & Technology, University of Peloponnese and a member of the Software & Database Systems Lab.
My research interests include distributed information retrieval and filtering, peer-to-peer, social and grid computing, digital libraries and multiagent systems. I have published more than 30 research papers and have served in the program committee of various international journals, conferences and workshops. I have received two scholarships from the Greek Ministry of Education and a best student paper award at the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL) in 2005. I have also worked as a research assistant in many european and greek projects.
