There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
-Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Brief info about me

I am currently serving as an adjunct professor at the Computer Science Department, University of Crete. I am also an affiliated researcher with INRIA-Saclay (the French research institute in informatics and control), working at the computer vision and medical imaging group. Prior to that I had also been a postdoctoral research fellow as well as an adjunct professor at the Applied Mathematics Department of Ecole Centrale de Paris (fellowship awarded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche), which is one of the top three engineering schools in France (part of the elite of "Grande Ecoles"). In 2007, I was finalist for the prestigious ERCIM Cor Baayen Award for the most promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics.

Research overview

My research interests span various areas of multi-dimensional signal processing and analysis. In particular, I am interested in topics related to biomedical image analysis, computer vision, statistical pattern recognition, image processing, and machine learning.
