I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Radiology, Washington University in St. Louis, affiliated with the Informatics, Data Science & Biostatistics. My research is in the area of medical image analysis and machine learning, with applications to brain development and aging. I focus on developing novel computational methods to extract information from imaging data and delineate patterns in large heterogeneous data sets, towards improving patient-specific diagnosis and advancing our understanding of brain structure and function in health and disease.

Before joining WashU, I was a Research Associate at the Section of Biomedical Image Analysis, University of Pennsylvania, working with Prof. Christos Davatzikos on unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning techniques to analyze high-dimensional heterogeneous neuroimaging data.

I did my PhD in the Center of Visual Computing at Ecole Centrale Paris, under the supervision of Prof. Nikos Paragios. There, I developed novel deformable image registration methods based on discrete optimization and probabilistic graphical models.

Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (ECE-NTUA).
