PhD: École Polytechnique, Data Science and Mining Team, supervised by Prof. Michalis Vazirgiannis; BSc: National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, worked as a Machine Learning Researcher at the Laboratory of Algebraic and Geometric Algorithms, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, supervised by Prof. Ioannis Emiris.
Background
Research Interests: Machine learning, graph representation learning, and foundation models for biology. Focused on developing methods that combine structured, multimodal, and generative approaches to better model complex biological systems. Works as a Machine Learning Research Scientist at Natera, focusing on developing genomic large language models (LLMs) for clinical applications and designing deep learning methods for neoantigen prediction in cancer immunotherapy.
