Biography
I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Electrical Engineering department at EPFL and a research assistant at HEIG-VD, in Switzerland. My Ph.D. advisor is Andrei Popescu-Belis. I am interested in machine translation and monolingual/multilingual language models.
Before coming to Switzerland, I obtained my diploma (combined BEng and MEng) in Electrical and Computer Engineering and my MSc in Data Science and Machine Learning from the National Technical University of Athens in Athens, Greece. In my Master’s thesis I worked on Adversarial Fine-Tuning of Pretrained Language Models under the supervision of Andreas Stafylopatis. I was also working as a Machine Learning Engineer at the Greek startup DeepSea Technologies for 1.5 years.
