Biography
I am currently a lecturer within the school of computing science. I am a member of the Glasgow Systems Section (GLASS) and a mentor under the Athena SWAN Mentorship Scheme. I have previously worked as an RSE/SE Enterprise Fellow and as a Researcher on the AnyScale Applications EPSRC funded project under the supervision of Dr Jeremy Singer and Prof Phil Trinder.
During my PhD at the University of Strathclyde, I investigated the use of commodity hardware, wireless communications and edge processing in Condition Monitoring of Industrial machines particularly on Ship applications. Through work experience I have also used data collection and processing for large scale applications in industrial building utility monitoring. Furthermore, I have worked on several embedded software applications such as Cube satellites. Moreover, I have worked on medical devices for monitoring of health and delivery of treatment for diabetic patients, where as a director of Clydescope Health Ltd. Previously, I acquired my MSc in 2008 on Biomedical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde and my Bachelor degree in 2007 in Computer Science from the University of Crete were I had worked at the FORTH instituted of research at the Computer Architecture and VLSI Systems Laboratory during my undergraduate thesis.
