I was born in 1976 in
Kavala, a picturesque city northeast of Greece. I grew up
in Athens where I spent most of my teen years. I moved to
Xanthi
due to my university studies in 1995 where I lived through July of 2002. During
this time period, I received the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the
Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the
Democritus Univ. of Thrace,
Xanthi,
Greece. In September of 2002, I joined the ECE department of the
Univ. of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA.
Under the supervision of Professor
Eby G.
Friedman, I graduated in 2008 with the PhD degree from the Univ. of
Rochester. I also received a Master’s degree from the same university in 2003.
