About
I am a researcher at Azure Research working at the intersection of computer architecture, computer security, and operating systems. Prior to joining Microsoft in November 2015, I completed my Ph.D. (2015) in Computer Science at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) under the supervision of Babak Falsafi, and obtained my Dipl.-Ing. (2009) in Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
