I am currenlty an Associate Researcher with the Telefonica Research lab in Barcelona, Spain. My research interests lie in the areas of large scale data management, cloud computing and distributed systems.
I got my Ph.D. from the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of California, San Diego in 2011. At UCSD, I was working in the Systems and Networking group under the supervision of Kenneth Yocum.
I received my Diploma from the school of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens in July 2004.
At UCSD, I worked on In-situ MapReduce, a scalable architecture for the collection and analysis of logs in large data centers, and CBP, a programming model and runtime system for the efficient processing of continuous bulk data. In the past I've worked on Mortar, a distributed stream processor that focuses on scalability, accuracy and fault tolerance in wide-area environments.
