I received the diploma degree from the National Technical University of Athens (Εθνικό Μετσόβιο Πολυτεχνείο), in Athens Greece advised by Prof. Glytsis and the PhD degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL), in Lausanne Switzerland advised by Prof. Fleury.

I am a Swiss-National-Science-Foundation (SNSF) Fellow and a Bodossaki Foundation Scholar. I am the recipient of the Postdoc Mobility Fellowship by SNSF and the “Stamatis G. Mantzavinos” Scholarship by Bodossaki Foundation. I held a postdoctoral position for a year at Princeton University and I am currently embedded at Prof. Monticone’s team at Cornell University.

My scientific interests are broad and include (but are not limited to) electrodynamics, optics, computational electromagnetics, acoustics, applied quantum mechanics and developing novel numerical and analytical methods to model wave phenomena and systems.
