About

I am a Research Associate at the Department of Computer Science, University College London. I graduated from the National Technical University of Athens, where I obtained a Dipl.-Ing. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Subsequently, I obtained an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and a D.I.C. from the Department of BioEngineering of Imperial College London. I am the recipient of the Stella Bagrit Centenary Memorial Prize for the best M.Sc. final project in Biomedical Engineering.

In 2010 I pursued a PhD with the Bio-Inspired VLSI Circuits and Systems Group of Imperial College London, under the supervision of Dr. Emmanuel M. Drakakis. During my PhD, my research primarily focused on the development of ultra low-power integrated BioElectronics for the continuous-time, continuous-value computation of highly non-linear cellular and molecular dynamics. My PhD thesis can be found online here.

From October 2012 until August 2014 I was involved in the Wellcome Trust/Department of Health Healthcare Innovation Challenge funded project “Real-time detection of the onset of secondary brain injury in the intensive care unit” as a Pre- and Post-Doctoral Research Associate. I was responsible for the design, programming and testing of the electronic devices that would interface with appropriate biosensors for real-time patient monitoring.

In August 2014 I moved to the School of Electronics and Computer Science of the University of Southampton as a Research Fellow in the EPSRC-funded project “An electronic-based ELISA combined with microfluidics”. I was responsible for the hardware and software implementation of the electronics of the project (PCB design & layout, microcontroller & FPGA programming, GUIs in Python).

My current research revolves around the development of electro-optical systems for near-infrared interferometry and time-domain diffuse optical systems for time-resolved spectroscopic measurements.

Research Interests

Analogue VLSI circuits; ultra-low power bioelectronics; circuit theory; log-domain circuits; medical devices; PCB designs; microcontrollers & FPGAs; signal processing; point-of-care diagnostics; near-infrared spectroscopy; diffuse optical & diffuse correlation spectroscopy.
