I am a Principal Software Engineer at Ghost Robotics. Previously, I was a Senior Machine Learning Researcher at Samsung Research America (AI Center - New York). Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT. I generally work at the intersection of robot motion planning, perception and controls, and my research has mostly focused on algorithms and representations for reactive robot navigation and manipulation planning.

I obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Dan Koditschek at the GRASP Lab. I also hold a M.S.E. from the University of Pennsylvania and a Diploma from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), both in Mechanical Engineering.
