I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research NYC in the Computational Social Science Group. My main research interests include human-computer interaction, games, and crowdsourcing.
At Microsoft Research, I am currently working on the Perspectives Engine, which aims to generate perspectives for helping people understand unfamiliar numbers encountered in news and other sources. I am also involved in Cartoscope, an open-source crowdsourcing image labeling platform, in collaboration with Northeastern University. Cartoscope has been used by non-profit organizations such as Healthy Gulf, for monitoring wetland loss in Louisiana, oil spills in the Niger Delta region, and damage assessment after events such as Hurricane Ida.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences, where I was advised by Professor Seth Cooper. I was awarded a Dissertation Completion Fellowship by Northeastern University to complete my Ph.D. studies in the Fall 2020 semester. In 2015, I received my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
Outside of research, I am a big tennis fan and you can easily spot me in the crowd by my headphones. Sometimes I pretend I have a clue about photography.
