Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Western Macedonia, Greece (Laboratory of Biomedical Technology and Digital Health) and Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, University of Ioannina, Greece.
I am an Informatics and Telecommunications Engineer by education and I received my PhD from the Department of Medical Physics, University of Ioannina, Greece (2020). During my PhD I focused on the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals acquired from clinical EEG recordings and data acquired from wearable devices for brain and cognitive disorders’ analysis.
I’m very enthusiastic about biosignal processing methods, machine learning algorithms, Brain-Computer Interfaces and wearable devices for movement and brain disorders’ analysis. I have published 15 articles in international scientific journals and 11 conference papers in the field of EEG analysis. I’m also personally involved with rare genetic disorders and particularly with the extreme rare Kleefstra Syndrome.
