Biosketch

I was born in Athens in 1993, and spent my teenage years at Ioannina. I received my diploma degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in March 2018. My master thesis, supervised by Prof. Petros Maragos, involved music composition through gestural interaction, by taking advantage of a Kinect sensor and recognizing gestures from skeletal data.

Since October 2018, I have been pursuing my PhD degree as a member of the Computer Vision, Speech Communication and Signal Processing Group in the National Technical University of Athens, under the supervision of Prof. Petros Maragos. My research interests lie in the broad area of audio signal processing, with focus on music source separation and interpretable representation learning for music and audio signals.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking/travelling, playing board/computer games and discovering new music, while procrastinating on taking guitar lessons.
