Short Bio
I am a Principal Researcher at the Information Management Systems Institute (IMSI) of Athena Research Center. I received my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 2003, and my PhD in Computer Science also from NTUA in 2008. During 2009-2011, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the L3S Research Center in Hannover, Germany. My research interests focus mainly on data integration, exploration and analysis, with emphasis on geospatial and spatio-textual data, time series, and knowledge graphs. I have more than 90 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, conferences and workshops. I am also an associate editor for the GeoInformatica international journal, and a reviewer in several conferences and journals in these areas. I have participated in many EU and national R&D projects, in several of them as principal investigator or project coordinator.
