I am a tenured Lab Lecturer at the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics and a research associate at the High Performance Information Systems Laboratory (HPCLab) and the Pattern Recognition Laboratory (PRLab), University of Patras. For 20 years, I have participated and led a variety of R&D projects with European, national and international funding, focusing on the application and promotion of ICT for the cultural and educational sector. I have received a diploma, an M.Sc. and a fellowship-awarded Ph.D. from the same department, specializing in knowledge management and discovery on the Web.
