My area of research is cryptography used for decentralization and privacy and I study proofs to achieve that while preserving data integrity and efficiency. My research finds applications in outsourced storage environments and cryptocurrencies. I am a postdoctoral researcher at IRIF. Before, I was a postdoctoral researcher at NYU and GMU.  I earned my PhD at GMU where I worked with Prof. Foteini Baldimtsi and I was a Protocol Labs fellowship award recipient. I have a BS degree in Applied Informatics from UOM, Greece and a BS degree in Mathematics from AUTH, Greece.  I was a research intern at IBM Research, Zurich for summer 2020 and a research intern at Visa Research, Palo Alto for summer 2022. 

I am interested in the distance between the crypto dream and today's tech industry.
