About

Postdoc at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson.

Received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2021, working with Prof. John S. Baras. Got my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, working at the Control Systems Lab (CSL) with Prof. Kostas Kyriakopoulos.


Research Interests

Inference and Control of Cyber-Physical-Human Systems. Focus on the analysis of learning algorithms using principles from hybrid systems theory, homotopy optimization and bifurcation theory, robust and risk-sensitive control, group-invariant and hierarchical topologies, knowledge representation and reasoning.

Fundamental Research: Optimization, Learning Theory, Hybrid Systems, System Identification, Control Theory, Multi-Agent Systems.
Application Fields: Explainable AI, Communication-Aware Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Intelligent Transportation, Biomedical Engineering, Smart Cities, Smart Manufacturing.
