Biography

I received the B.Sc. degree in computer science (1999), the M.Sc. degree in communications systems and networks (2002), and the Ph.D. degree on ``Signal Processing Techniques in Cryptography'' (2007) from the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, University of Athens, Greece. My main research interests include cryptography, Boolean functions & sequences, network security, personal data protection & privacy and error control coding.

I have joined the Hellenic Data Protection Authority as an ICT Specialist since 2009.

Since 2022, I am member of ENISA's Ad Hoc Working Group (AHWG) on Data Protection Engineering.
