Bio
I am a post-doctoral researcher at NetSySci Research Laboratory, Cyprus University of Technology.
My main research interests focus on central problems in complex network analysis, such as identifying influential/central nodes, graph sampling and link prediction. I am also very much interested in data-driven studies of collective and dynamic behavior in networks, such as social influence, diffusion of information and epidemic models.
I hold a PhD degree in Computer Science, Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) -- under the supervision of Professor Michalis Vazirgiannis. My background is interdisciplinary, from Physics (B.Sc., 1996) to theoretical computer science and game theory (M.Sc., 2002) and finally, social dynamics in networks, along with social network analysis (PhD, 2012).
