I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department
and Electrical and Computer Engineering (by courtesy)
at Carnegie Mellon University since Fall 2021.
Before, I spent a year at Facebook Research.
My research bridges computer architecture and operating systems focusing
on performance, security, and scalability. My current work follows two central themes:
(a) uncovering security vulnerabilities and building defenses at the boundary between
hardware and OS, and (b) re-designing abstractions and interfaces between the two layers to improve performance and scalability.
I earned a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2020 where I was fortunate to work with
Prof. Josep Torrellas
in the i-acoma group. My PhD thesis, Rethinking Computer Architecture and Operating Systems Abstractions for Good & Evil, received the
2021 ACM SIGARCH & IEEE CS TCCA Outstanding Dissertation Award,
for "contributions to redesigning the abstractions and interfaces that connect hardware and operating systems".
My alma mater is the Technical University of Crete
in Greece, where I studied Electronic and Computer Engineering. During my years in Crete I had the chance to work with
Prof. Dionisios Pnevmatikatos,
Prof. Apostolos Dollas,
Prof. Ioannis Papaefstathiou and
Prof. Polyvios Pratikakis.
