I am an MS student in Quantum Science and Technology at Columbia University.

Before Columbia I completed an Integrated M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, and finished a year early.

At Columbia I am a Graduate Research Assistant with Prof. Daniel Rubenstein, working on hardware-agnostic quantum circuit routing heuristics that cut gate overhead across qubit architectures.

I am the president and founder of the Columbia Quantum Computing Group.
