Short Bio
I hold a PhD in Electronic & Computer Engineering (Embedded Systems Security) from the Technical University of Crete (Greece), an MSc with Distinction in Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London (UK) and a BSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of Crete (Greece).
I am currently the Chief Technology Officer of Sphynx Analytics Ltd, a startup based in Cyprus, working on enterprise security assurance, security analytics & also on operational security topics, such as incident response (particularly via machine-processable & executable playbooks).
In the past I was the CTO of Sphynx Technology Solutions AG, and I have worked as an R&D Engineer / Researcher for the Technical University of Crete (TUC), the Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI), the Telecommunication Systems Research Institute (TSI), the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), and the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU), where I have also taught Information Security -focused undergraduate and postgraduate modules for a number of years.
Throughout my career I have been involved in over 20 research projects (FP7, Horizon & national), having attracted over 6M EUR in relevant Grants, and have authored/co-authored over 60 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications focusing on the Security, Privacy, Dependability and Sustainability of embedded systems and ubiquitous smart platforms (gathering over 1500 citations, according to Google Scholar).
Finally, in addition to my research and academic activities, I also enjoy working on industry-related tasks, dealing with Information Security Management issues in particular (being an IRCA certified ISO 27001:2005 auditor).
