CV

I have recently graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from Dartmouth College under the supervision of Emily Whiting and I hope that my work in computer graphics can contribute to allowing more people to express their creativity through computer assisted design. One of my research interests involves using knowledge about human perception and user studies to develop algorithms that will make graphics more accessible to people with blindness. Another area that I am interested in, uses domain expertise to computationally fabricate artistic artifacts. I have worked in projects ranging from tactile and watercolor images, to shape modeling and 3D-printing. During my PhD I interned in Autodesk research in Toronto where I designed musical instruments. I was born and lived in Athens where I received my B.S. in Informatics at the Athens University of Economics and Business.
