Welcome! I am a postdoctoral researcher at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). I am hosted by Guido Schäfer in the Networks & Optimization (N&O) group. I enjoy working on problems lying in the intersection of theoretical computer science, operations research and economics.

In 2023, I completed my PhD in the Department of Informatics of Athens University of Economics and Business. I was very fortunate to be advised by Vangelis Markakis and be part of the department’s Theory Group.

Here is my CV.

I am on the job market for 2025. My SIGecom job market profile can be found here. Feel free to reach out!

Program Committees: WINE (24), SAGT (23), AAMAS (25), ECAI (24)

Journal Reviewer: Theoretical Computer Science (23, 24)
