| | | | | | Welcome to my personal homepage. Currently, I am in Los Angeles, pursuing a Ph.D. at the Department of Computer Science, Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California. I am also employed at the Intelligent Systems Division-Information Sciences Institute (ISI) at Marina Del Ray, CA. I am also collaborating with the Information Systems Laboratory, at Institute of Computer science, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (a.k.a. ICS-F.O.R.TH), located at the island of Crete in Greece. | | | | |
Research Interests | | | | Key Interests: A.I. Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Description Logics, The Semantic Web and A.I. applications on it, Ontology Reasoning, Ontology Evolution, Logics, Action Theories, Information Retrieval, Distributed Systems.
Summary of Interests: Before coming to USC I was working as a R&D engineer at ICS-F.O.R.TH where I also worked during my M.Sc. studies, under a research assistanship. For the aforementioned periods I've been working on Semantic Web, which I find extremely intriguing. In particular, I studied Artificial Intelligence applications (namely belief revision) upon RDF/S ontologies. I am very interested in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning while former work of mine (my B.Sc. thesis) dealt with action theories. My other interests include Information Retrieval and other Database areas. As a minor, during my M.Sc. studies, I chose distributed and parallel systems working with projects in the following areas: Distributed Systems, Wireless Networks, Mobile Computing, P2P Systems, and Web Technologies. Most of these works were under close collaboration with several ICS-F.O.R.TH laboratories.
| | Bio | | | | I was born in Esslingen, Germany, in April of 1982. I grew up in Kozani, a city in northern Greece, where I went in public elementary and secondary schools. In 1998 I moved to Stuttgart Germany, where I finished the Greek Lyzeum (high-school) of Stuttgart in 2000. At that time I came to Crete to study computer science and stayed 8 years. I completed my Bachelor`s and my Master`s studies at the Computer Science Department at the University of Crete, Greece. After that I worked for a 6-month period at ICS-F.O.R.TH. At August 2008, I came to University of Southern California, to pursue a Ph.D. degree. My phd advisor is Jose Luis Ambite. My c.v. can be found here.
