About

Since September 2026, I am an Assistant Professor at TU Wien Informatics working on Learning Methods for Cyber-Physical-Human Systems. In 2017, I received my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, where I worked on neuro-robotics and human-robot interaction at the Control Systems Lab (CSL) with Prof. Kostas Kyriakopoulos. In 2021, I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, working with Prof. John S. Baras on stochastic optimization, and inference and control of cyber-physical systems. I then joined KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, as a postdoctoral associate, where I worked with Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson on explainable AI, learning-based control, and communication-aware robotics, collaborating with Ericsson Research as the principal investigator of a 2-year SSF project.

Research Interests

Inference and Control of Cyber-Physical-Human Systems with focus on the analysis of learning algorithms using principles from:

• hybrid systems theory
• robust and risk-sensitive control
• knowledge representation and reasoning
• group-invariant and hierarchical topologies
• homotopy optimization and bifurcation theory

I am interested in fundamental research on Optimization, Learning Theory, (Hybrid) Systems and Control Theory, and Multi-Agent Systems, with applications in:

• Explainable AI & Learning-based Control
• Human-Robot Interaction & Collaboration
• Risk-Sensitive Reinforcement Learning
• Communication-aware Robotics
• Swarm Dynamics Identification
• Intelligent Transportation
• Smart Cities
