Hello friend

Our world, as we know it, is in a constant crisis.

Two are the most pressing problems of our time; the relationships among the different classes of our modern community and the relationships between our community and the nature. Comprehending ecosystems’ ecology can help us address a wide range of issues in a viriety of aspects, both scientific and societal. And this is why I chose to focus my research curiosity on elucidating ecosystem function.

In 2016, I completed my BSc in Biology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

After that, I joined the Bioinformatics MSc program in the University of Crete (2016-2018). During my master thesis, I became a member of lab42open at IMBBC-HCMR. Since then, I have been working on PEMA, a pipeline for the analysis of metabarcoding data.

After that, I conducted my PhD on microbial community ecology through the lens of NGS technologies, data integration and metabolic networks in the framework of the PREGO project.

In 2020, I also started to contribute to the GeomScale research and development project bringing together computational geometry with metabolic modelling.

After defending my PhD in 2022, I joined lab of microbial systems biology at the Rega institute at KU Leuven and the 3D’ omics project.

My research interests focus on microbial interactions, ecology and evolution. Hence, bioinformatics is nothing but a means to an end? One might say so. But it is quite similar for the way to lead you to places you have never thought in the first place. Is it not?
