I am a Professor at the Dept. of Informatics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Prior to that, I was a visiting lecturer at the University of Cyprus and a research associate in the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester and CERTH. I am a member of Datalab (former Delab).

I graduated with a PhD from the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester in 2005. I also graduated from the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 1999 (BSc), and from the Dept. of Computation, UMIST, Manchester, UK, in 2002 (MPhil).

My main research interests are in the areas of large-scale and distributed data management, massive parallelism, workflow and business process optimization, big data analytics, data mining and transferring research results to real-world applications.

I serve as a PC member in several top conferences, including EDBT, CIKM, ECML-PKDD, IEEE BigData.
