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 the Chief Technology Officer of Sphynx Technology Solutions AG, working on research projects such as SEMIoTICS (developing a platform to enable and guarantee secure and dependable actuation and semi-autonomic behaviour in IoT/IIoT applications), THREAT-ARREST (developing an advanced cybersecurity training platform), RESIST (developing support for the security and resilience of critical infrastructures management systems against cyber-attacks), and BIO-PHOENIX (developing a bio-inspired paradigm for reconstructing nearly extinct complex software systems based on a novel computational DNA -oriented systems modelling approach).
In the past, 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.
I have authored/co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications focusing on the Security, Privacy, Dependability and Sustainability of embedded systems and ubiquitous smart platforms, while also serving as a reviewer and Chair at various academic venues pertaining to my research interests.
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).
