Research Experience
Currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Yale. Prior to this, he spent one year as an assistant professor at the Department of ECE at Michigan State University. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) at Princeton University.
Education
Received his PhD degree in ECE from Rutgers University.
Background
Research interests include mathematical optimization, quantitative risk, statistical learning, decision under uncertainty, and signal processing. Relevant applications are in resource allocation and management, autonomous systems, robustness, fairness, and trustworthiness. Additionally, he is actively interested in algorithmic/systematic trading and the management of financial risk (so-called quantitative research).
Miscellany
He grew up on the island of Zakynthos, which has a nearby exotic island called Marathonisi.
