I am a research associate in the Machine Learning and Optimization Research Group at the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester, UK. I work on a systems Biology project, called TIGRA, together with Neil Lawrence and Magnus Rattray. Before, I did my PhD at institute of Adaptive and Neural Computation at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Chris Williams. I did my undergraduate and master degree in Computer Science at the University of Ioannina, Greece.
