I am a Tenured Assistant Professor at the Informatics Institute (IvI), University of Amsterdam (UvA), carrying out work in the Multiscale Networked Systems (MNS) group. My research focuses in next-generation network management and orchestration, combining techniques from machine learning, and control theory. Specifically, I focus on designing intelligent, self-adaptive network architectures that leverage advanced AI techniques and/or rigorous control-theoretic principles to optimize performance and formally guarantee reliability. Recently, I have also been exploring the development of goal-oriented, semantic communication frameworks and the integration of generative AI to enable proactive network optimization, digital twinning, and zero-touch service management.

I have received my diploma from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, in 2016, and my PhD from the same department in 2021. All this time at NTUA I was embedded at the NETwork Management and Optimal DEsign (NETMODE) Lab. From 2022 to 2024, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and the Software and Information Technology Engineering department at the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS), Montreal, Canada. In parallel, I worked at Ericsson Canada. During that time, I was also awarded the CU-PSAC Postdoctoral Fellow Research Award.
