Undergraduate Studies:

I finished my undergraduate studies at Electrical and Computer Engineering department of National Technical University of Athens, in July 2006. My major focus was on Networking and Telecommunications. During my undergraduate studies I persued a number of individual and team projects. Some of them are listed below.
Lately (Fall 2008) I got accepted from the Mathematics Department of the University of Athens. I have currently completed 41% of the course load requirements for the degree.

Undergraduate Projects (ECE):

Queuing Systems(Simulation of a queuing system in C)
Protocol Specfication Languages (Simulation of a radio taxi company in UML)
Web applications (Various web applications)
Artificial Intelligence (AI project)
Image&Video processing (Image and video process projects)

I also persued my diploma thesis under the supervision of professor Vasilis Maglaris. At my diploma thesis I worked on Intrusion Detection Systems- theoretical aspects and statistical modelling. You can find a copy of my diploma thesis (unfortunately in Greek only) here.

Graduate studies:

Fall 2006-Spring 2008: MSc in Computer Science, University of California, Riverside. Supervisor: Prof.Srikanth Krishnamurthy (GPA: 4.0/4.0)
