I am an AI researcher, Machine Learning engineer, NLP specialist, Python enthusiast, Linux devotee, open-source contributor, eternal learner and innovation advocate.

I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of efficient AI architectures and challenging the "bigger is better" paradigm. My work focuses on developing computationally efficient models that achieve state-of-the-art results through architectural innovation rather than scale, making AI systems both groundbreaking in theory and practical in real-world applications.

Currently

I hold an MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Crete and work as a Research Fellow at both the Telecommunication Systems Research Institute (T.S.I.) and FORTH. My research spans efficient transformer architectures, code vulnerability detection, and cybersecurity applications of machine learning.

Research Highlights

I developed White-Basilisk, a 200M parameter hybrid architecture combining Mamba layers, linear attention, and Mixture of Experts for code vulnerability detection, achieving state-of-the-art results with significantly fewer parameters than competing models. I'm actively involved in EU Horizon projects and patent applications.

Location

Based in Athens, Greece, I contribute to the European AI research landscape through collaborations with leading institutions and am exploring opportunities for further research.
