I am a Research & Teaching Assistant at the CY Cergy Paris University in France, doing a PhD in Computer Science on "Quality & Privacy in User-generated Big Data: Algorithms & Techniques".
I hold an MSc in Science & Technology of Electrical & Computer Engineering and an Engineer's Degree (5-year program) in Computer & Communication Engineering from the University of Thessaly in Greece.
My broad research interests focus in (but are not limited to) the area of Ubiquitous Computing, Internet of Things, and especially Crowdsensing and Information Privacy.
Assisted the preparation and conducting of 2 undergraduate (<i>Developing Applications for Mobile Devices</i> and <i>Web Services & Service Oriented Architectures</i>) and 3 graduate (<i>Advanced Databases</i>, <i>Data Integration & Warehouses</i>, and <i>Embedded Java Workshop</i>) courses.
</p>
<p>
Supervised 7 undergraduate students for 3 internships and 1 project.
Designed <i>Live Like Local</i>, a collaborative cross-platform framework that facilitates the communication of citizens with local authorities.
Let visitors discover how the locals live, and allow businesses to offer unique experiences and maximize their profits.
