Biography
I am an Assistant Professor at Purdue University. My research revolves around virtual reality, computer animation, computer graphics, and artificial intelligence.
In the past, I have been affiliated with the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College as a Postdoctoral Researcher, and with the Interactive Multimedia and Virtual Reality Lab at the University of the Aegean as Research Assistant. I received a Ph.D. in Informatics and an M.Sc. in Virtual Environments both from the School of Engineering and Informatics of the University of Sussex, and an integrated Master's degree (combined B.Sc. & M.Sc.) from Ionian University.
My goal is to understand the gap between virtuality and reality. To that end, I am broadly interested in motion, biometric, and physiological data analysis that compares virtual reality and real-world experiences and interactions.

I am looking for Undergrad, Master, and Ph.D. students to work with me on projects related to Virtual Reality and Computer Animation. Contact me for more info.
