I am a PhD student at INRIA Saclay & Université Paris-Sud XI working with the Leo team (formerly GEMO), under the supervision of Ioana Manolescu. I have been a member of the High Performance Computing systems Lab (HPCL), at the University of Cyprus doing my Master under the supervision of Marios Dikaiakos. I come from Ormylia, Chalkidiki, Greece and I enjoy cooking, wine, photography and fishing.

• XML Data Management

• LiquidXML: LiquidXML is built on top of the ViP2P platform. Its main feature is to automatically select and continuously adapt the set of materialized views on each ViP2P peer, to improve query processing performance.

• Views in P2P: ViP2P is a fully functional Java-based platform for the efficient, scalable management of XML documents in structured peer-to-peer networks based on distributed hash table (DHT) indices. I am working on the ViP2P project since November 2009.
