Biography
I recieved my bachelor diploma in Mathematics from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and my master in Optimization and Game Theory in Paris 6 (UPMC) in Paris, France.
Finally, I received my Ph.D. in Adaptive First Order Methods for Convex structured optimization problems from the University of Grenoble-Alpes under the supervision of Prof. P. Mertikopoulos and. Prof. E.V. Belmega.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Information and Inference Systems hosted by Prof. Volkan Cehver.
My interests lie at the intersection of Game Theory, Convex Optimization and Variational Inequalities.
