I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the group of prof. Andreas Nickel at the Universität der Bundeswehr München. In 2024, I completed my PhD in mathematics at Bielefeld University under the supervision of prof. Michael Spiess.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from the University of Crete.
My CV is available here.
