I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Zurich, supervised by Prof. Alberto Bacchelli and the ZEST group. I am mostly interested in software testing research such as fuzzing, search-based software testing, and AI for testing, but I enjoy working on the broader software engineering research landscape as well. My research is also supported by the Bodossaki Foundation.

Previously, I worked as a software engineer at Tesla on distributed software systems and databases, and I obtained my M.Eng. degree from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

When I’m not doing research, I spend my time playing (beach) volleyball, chess, and music (bouzouki/guitar).
