I am currently working as a Postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft, conducting research on securing digital identities using distributed privacy-preserving technologies. Working in the EU project RECITALS: Securing Digital Identities with Privacy-Preserving Technologies

I recieved my PhD from École Polytechnique, at INRIA under the supervison of Catuscia Palamidessi and Konstantinos Chatzikokolakis. My PhD thesis was Advanced Probabilistic Methods for Privacy Amplification: Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Approaches. My work was funded by the project CRYPTECS: Lifting Privacy-Preserving Computing Technologies into the Cloud, a Franco/German ANR/BMBF-supported project and the EU project ELSA: researching safe and secure AI.

I received my BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. My Master thesis was Tor: Tree-based Vanguards under the supervision of Konstantinos Chatzikokolakis.

My research focuses on:

  • Differential Privacy
  • Metric Privacy (d-privacy)
  • Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
  • Quantitative Information Flow
  • Private Set Intersection
