About

I am a Principal Researcher in the Optics for the Cloud group at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA, and prior to that, I completed my undergraduate studies in the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics at the University of Patras, Greece. My research interests broadly lie in cloud computing, with a recent focus on designing computing systems that leverage optical technologies to accelerate computations.
