I am an Assistant Professor in Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

At WPI, I lead the Efficient Learning for Planning and Intelligent Systems (ELPIS) Lab. The lab focuses on autonomous robotic systems capable of reasoning about and interacting with the physical world. The primary goal is to develop agents that are efficient, robust, and capable of learning from real-world interactions. The main research areas of the lab are planning efficiency, planning under uncertainty, and planning from visual inputs. For more information, see this page.

I have received my Diploma from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki as an Electrical and Computer Engineer in 2017. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2023 at Rice University, working under the supervision of Dr. Lydia Kavraki and Dr. Anshumali Shrivastava. I am honored to have received an NSF-GRFP fellowship for my doctoral studies. More details can be found in my curriculum vitae.
