Grant: EPSRC EP/G069557/1 Project dates: January 2010 - December 2012
Background/Education
I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1980. In 1998, I moved to Ioannina to study Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science of University of Ioannina.
In 2002 I received a BSc in Computer Science from
the University of Ioannina.
My final Dissertation concerned Parallel and High-Performance
Computing. With my fellow-student George Tzoumas we have
implemented OMPi,
a fully operational “C compiler with OpenMP 2.0 extensions”.
In 2004 I received MSc in Computer Systems with
Distinction from the same Department.
My final thesis concerned Distributed/Peer-to-Peer systems. My Thesis
was entitled “Mobility and Updates in Peer-to-Peer
Networks”.
In 2009 I received PhD in Computer
Science from University College
London.
My thesis was entitled: "A Content
