I am the Intelligent Systems for Medicine and Health Program Lead at CIS-EPFL, since November 2020. Before that I was a Senior Data Scientist at the Swiss Data Science Centre. I got my M.Sc. (August 2010) and Ph.D. (February 2016) in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering respectively, both from EPFL, Switzerland, and my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering (July 2008) from the University of Patras, Greece. In summer 2014, I was a research intern with Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA, working on the compression of 3D point clouds. 
 
 My research interests include graph-based signal processing for data representation and analysis, as well as machine learning, with a particular focus on the design of interpretable models for personalized medicine.
