I was born in Athens, Greece, in 1982 and lived in Chalandri. In 2000, I joined the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). As an undergraduate, I exposed to various areas of ECE and Computer Science (CS) like Computer Engineering, System Theory and Controls, Signal Processing, and Software Engineering. At the last year in NTUA, I worked on the introduction and parameter estimation of a new mathematical model of pancreas, towards the feedback regulation of diabetes, in collaboration with Pr. George Papavassilopoulos (NTUA) and Pr. Vasilis Marmarelis (USC).

In 2005, I entered the MS/PhD program at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign where I work as a research assistant in the Decision & Control group at the Coordinated Science Laboratory. My advisor is  Pr. P.R. Kumar, and we are currently working on fundamental limits on network time synchronization, and clock synchronization algorithms. My future research interests focus on system theoretic aspects of next generation Control Systems, with applications in Wireless & Sensor Networks and Networked Control.

I have been granted a Vodafone graduate fellowship for 2007-2008 for research in the area of Wireless Communication Networks. I am also a member of IEEE and the Technical Chamber of Greece.

Regardless of my academic interests, I am a sociable and energetic person who likes sports, traveling and interacting with people. I speak English, French, Italian and Spanish, and I am native in Greek. I am a huge fan of Panathinaikos. I also enjoy my country Greece; its islands, food and night life.
