Welcome to my personal homepage. Currently I live in Los Angeles. I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science, Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California. I am a member of the Information Integration Group, Intelligent Systems Division-Information Sciences Institute (ISI) at Marina Del Rey, CA. As well, I collaborate with the Information Systems Laboratory, Institute of Computer Science, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (a.k.a. ICS-FORTH), Heraklion/Crete, Greece.
 
 
Research Interests  
 
Data Integration, Databases, A.I. Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Description Logics, The Semantic Web and A.I. applications on it, Ontology Reasoning, Ontology Evolution, Logic, Information Retrieval, Distributed Systems.








Bio  
 
I was born in Esslingen, Germany, in April of 1982. I grew up in Kozani, a city in northern Greece, where I went to public elementary and secondary schools. In 1998 I moved to Stuttgart Germany. I finished the Greek Lyzeum (high-school) of Stuttgart in 2000. In fall 2000 I started studying computer science at the Computer Science Department, University of Crete, Greece. After I had completed my studies with a Bachelor`s and a Master`s degree I worked at ICS-FORTH, for six months. In August 2008, I came to University of Southern California. After two years I graduated from USC with a Master of Science. Now I'm a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Jose Luis Ambite. My c.v. can be found here.
