About Me

I'm currently a PhD student at Columbia University. My advisor is prof. Angelos D. Keromytis. I graduated from National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), where I studied in the Electrical Engineering & Computer Science Department.

My research interests include systems & network security, binary instrumentation and privacy. More information is available in my resume.
